180 degrees is perfect in a gas engine. Leave it the way it is.

I would pull that thermostat and place in a pan of water and heat it to see what temp it's opening at. I would put a 195 degree in for the winter. You need to get the engine temp up so the cylinders aren't loaded with fuel and
should be operated under load so as to raise the temp quickly. Hal

It's not as immediately harmful to run an engine too cold as it might be to run it too hot, but you get poor performance, fuel washing down the cylinder walls (gas or diesel) and diluting the oil. Diesels, especially the low compression ones, run like crap when they are too cold. My 826 sure does and I think the t-stat is gone because it takes forever to warm up. You want it to warm up as quickly as possible and stay at operating temp.

In the post below, you said 350? The H--350 engine warms up very slowly. Unless you are moving snow in the winter or something, it is not a concern. Also, your gauge could be wrong.

Check the owners manual. The W-30 owner's manual recomends blocking an outlet if you do not ren a thermostat.
