Whats up guys. You guys are so awesome that I decided to hit you up for advice again. I got a 40 hp mariner (40 E 6E9 s 104752), 1985 2 cylinder outboard. Basically a copy of those old Yamaha fm series.
I was told to haul the thermostat to see if it worked by pushing in the spring, attaching a string, suspending it in water and seeing if it moves. I even waited for the water to boil, and I seen no change in the thermostat. Is it time to replace the thermostat, or am I doing something wrong? If I have to replace it, would someone mind showing me a link for the cheapest possible thermostat available?
I appreciate any help.
All the best.
