Your probably running a bit cold. From the temperature your running would
say either the thermostat has failed open or is not installed. There are
three thermostats of varying temperature 74, 82, and 88 degrees C. You'd
probably want to run the hottest one in the winter to generate heat for the
heater and the coldest in the summer. I've apparently got the 82 degree one
as mine seems to run fine at that temperature year around. Of course its
been awhile since it got anywhere near freezing here, but that one might be
a good year around choice if heat wasn't that important. The 2 1/4 takes a
skirted type of thermostat, I believe, so you have to specify that type if
you wander down to your local NAPA store for a thermostat. The last time I
bought one, believe they still had the rover in their books.
