Hi all,

Have a good running motor.....recently after spring commissioning and water pump maint, was told that one of my thermostats was likely stuck open. Left side cool to the touch after running for few minutes......right side up to temp....Motor has been running well, any drawback/cautions to running this motor in this condition? Thanks for your feedback-d

Best to change thermostats, could foul spark plugs, and have excess carbon if cold running.
