[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 144279, member: 3278"] The engine was designed to warm up at idle and cool down at higher throttle settings. A warm 2-cycle engine will idle better than a cold one any day of the week. The thermostat will usually run the engine somewhere around 135f at idle if operating properly. Have found through the years that the statement about holding your hand on it for about 3 seconds is usually correct. That's usually around 135f! [/QUOTE]
