Dave, yes, the Honda has two different t-stats. The 60'C stat controls the cooling of the engine block. The 50'C stat controls cooling for the cyl head. Don't mix 'em up and if one is stuck open, replace it. Your local dealer should show a list price of about $34 each, right here, right...

Hey Dee. Intermittant problems are the bane of owners and technicians. 150 hours is not a significant amount of time to require any serious maintenance, but 6 years may be. If the engine were in my shop and I could actually get it to show the symptom, and it was as you say- #3 cyl.- I'd...
