I was having cooling problems, so I disasembled the Thermostat to inspect it for crud, etc. Now I can't remember which spring goes where. I know they go on the top of the plastic valves, but can't remeber which valve gets the light or heavy spring. I have a SELOC book, but it doesn't show the thermostat at all. I looked at an on-line parts manual but you can't tell from the exploded picture. Anyone know? Thanks

Hey Thanks for the diagram. I put it back together and all seems well. I had also found a local "Older Johnson outboard expert" who talked me through(on the phone) the entire water circulation process. thanks for your help, I very much appreciate it. Works great now in the driveway, going to take it out to the lake this weekend, Cross your fingers for me :)
