BD3 Thermostat let off temp?

[BD3Bill]

Hi all

Just can't get any meaningful hot water from my BD3 engine !

I suspect that somebody has whipped out the thermostat, but not physically checked yet. Just with a ray-gun-thermometer.

The engine gets up to around 50 deg C after two hours of running.

Is this right? Surely not !

 

Part number please !!

 

Cheers

Bill

You may be able to tell if the thermostat is gone by feeling the engine as she warms up. If it gets hot one side of the housing and stays cold the other, it's got a thermostat

 

I usually do this by hand

Contact Neil @ Beta Marine. I have a spare one on the boat.
