HI All
I just tried to remove the thermostat for an overheating 125 force ( 1988) after my recent repairs, and of course, even Superman could not move these with a screwdriver. My question is- how do you get them out? Vice grips? Rotary Hammer Drill? These bolts ( flat blade bolts?) would not budge. I am no fairy, but I wondered 2 things.
1: Is this the standard thermo install and
2: Should I run her without the thermo to 'flush' the engine of the **** and debris?
Cheers all- again.
