Slow-warming Spider

Don Banfield asks:<<I'm curious as to the rate at which your engines heat
up. Mine
takes at LEAST 20 minutes to reach an operating temperature of somewhat
below 170F on the indicator.>>

Sounds like your thermostat is stuck open, Don.  My '86 Spider is up to full
normal temp after 2 miles/5 minutes, and with stock radiator and fan never
varies from that. And with the heater suitably bled free of air, I have to
back off the temperature slider to avoid overheating my feet, even in winter
with the top down and a non-working heater fan!   Should be a
straightforward fix - good luck!

Yours warmly,
