Hey, Gang.

I noticed the thermostat on my 1980 air-cooled Westy was fully expanded on a
cold engine.  The ambient temperature was about 70 degrees.  When the
thermostat is contracted (what I would think would be the normal cool state)
it closes the air ducts and lets the engine warm.  Then the thermostat
expands and allows the ducts to open.  At what temperature should a
thermostat contract/expand? Do I likely have a bad thermostat here?  I'm
currently replacing the cooling tins after some engine work so I need to be
able to adjust the thermostat.  The only directions I have are for a cool,
contracted thermostat.  If my thermostat is OK, how do I adjust the
thermostat properly when it is expanded?  Please cc my email address
directly with any thoughts.

Thanks for any suggestions,
