Subject:Weber Progressive and Thermostat

Hello All

Daisy, '82 Westy, does not like to run cold.  I bought it with a weber
conversion kit, which runs great when it is warm.  Currently it takes about
10 minutes at idle to warm up.

My thermostat is gone, but I have all the other essentials, boxes, flaps,
etc.

A couple of questions:
Are there any thermostats on the market that work well (oem replacements)
How does the Mexican replacement work (spring unit)?  I understand this unit
fails closed, which bothers me...

Is there an easy way to install a manual system (like a manual choke)

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions and input.

Frank
