Be Sure To Use Correct Water Temperature Regulators{1355}
Usage:
All 3208 Engines
Water temperature regulators (or regulator kits) used on earlier 3208 Engines must not be used on later 3208 Engines. The earlier regulators have pilot "fingers" on the ends, which become damaged when installed on later engines. Later regulators use a flat plate on the end and can be installed on all earlier or later 3208 Engines. See the illustration.
Earlier and later water temperature regulators.
Earlier and later water temperature regulators can be used on 3208 Engines as shown in the chart which follows:
