    shutter assembly test

    The temperature switch is normally closed and opens if it gets too hot, stopping the engine. If the engine runs after the master switch is released from the start position, the wiring is intact.

    shutter assembly test

    There is an overtemperature switch and I believe it's in the cylinder head. It will stop the engine if the temperature is too high.

    shutter assembly test

    Ha, I just noticed the typo in the quote from the manual I posted above. 60°C is 140°F, not 14°F. I assume they mean the temperature of the air coming out of the shutters.

    shutter assembly test

    From TM5-6115-585-12, page 3-10: When loaded to about 1/2 capacity, my 003A's shutters open fairly far in the summer, but usually not all the way. It takes long enough for them to start to open that I got a little nervous the first time I watched them.
