[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 512397, member: 21536"] What you describe is 100% normal for my outboard. It starts peeing immediately upon start up. I suppose things could have been different 60 years ago, but it seems I've read here that the tell-tale is not dependent on the thermostat. I;m sure others will confirmed or not. BTW, if it bothers you, just buy and install a new thermostat & gasket. Or pull the existing one and test it. I suspect the cost of a replacement is relatively low, so if me I would go with a new one. Then no need to buy a fancy laser thermometer. [/QUOTE]
