I have been running without a thermostat since I launched last month.
And,I just put the single action moyer thermostat, and spacer kit on my a-4 today.
Out of gear, or even if slow cruising, it never leaves 100 degrees.
that is the lowest number on my gauge.
I can confirm this by placing my hand anywhere on the block and hardly feel warmth.
The "only" way I can acheive any temp, is to go WOT for at least 5-7 minutes, then it will go to 120, then let off, and it goes right back to 100, then go again WOT 130 and the best I have pulled off is 140 after extended WOT.
This is on the Cheseapeake bay, which is cooling off.
But I never figured that it would still run ice cold cruising.
I have the check valve, gate valve kit from moyer installed, and it is still raw water cooled.The valve is turned so there is no restriction going to the exhaust.
