Just an intermediate followup. I'm having a machinist repair the shaft. In the meantime I noticed that my upper radiator hose has NO thermostat.

I went and picked one up at tractor supply at lunch, and will install it this weekend.. hopefully with my steering shaft is done.

Question... I know it goes in the top hose, and uses a hose clamp to keep it stationary.. but which direction is it installed... I'm not sure of the flow direction.

thanks,

Soundguy

This is the common thermostat used in the Ns.

Thanks! I havn't taken mine out of the packaging yet.. but does appear they are the same.

And I did go the extra $ 0.49 and got a 3rd clamp just for safety.

Thanks again guys.

Thanks guys, I was figuring it was hot to the top, but after tinkering with my yanmar for so long... ( no water pump ) I wanted to make sure.

Flow in all radiators is suction from the bottom and presure to the top. That way when the water gets a little low you do not just suck air. There is a sencor for the heat and it goes twords the heat sounce (the engine) that way as the engine warms up it will cause the heat activated valve to open and let the water circulate thru the radiator to cool.

Soundguy,

I don't even use clamps to hold the thermostat in place, just clamps on top & bottom of the hose. It can't go anywhere!

After trying it without a clamp, I found it pushed all the way to the top of the hose by the pressure of the water pump. I'd rather keep it down close to the engine, where it is more likely to always be immersed in coolant, even if the radiator gets a little low. So I recommend a third clamp to keep the thermostat down towards the bottom of the hose.

Flow is from top of engine toward radiator.
