You should be at least at 180 unless you have a phenomenal cooling system and a 160 t-stat. ;^) Brad O. > What is a normal running temp for a 305, (ya know the lawn mower > engine)? > Are the stock gauges usually correct or close? > I just got back from a hour and a half trip, running at 70 mph plus the > whole way and it seemed it never went much over 150�.
