[C320-list] Perkins M30 Thermostat Part Number and Source?

[Jeff Willis]

Hey Christian,

I had hull 174 with the Perkins.  Sold her a couple of years ago.   I purchased all my parts from TADiesels.  They were always very knowledgeable and helpful.   I still have a stainless steel elbow if you are interested send me an email.

Enjoy your 320, it is a great boat.

Jeff

Having a difficult time finding a source to purchase a thermostat for a Perkins M30.  Any leads?  Also, unsure if I have the part number correct, I think its 145206022.

I see is sold in a kit at TA Diesel,
http://www.tadiesels.com/perkins-M20-M30-ck.html The kit also lists a thermostat spring in that kit.  Is that something I would need to replace when I replace my thermostat?  Just sent TA Diesel an email inquiring if the thermostat is available outside of the kit.

Having an overheating problem.  Getting water flow out of the exhaust.  New impeller.  Exchanger is free of any impeller debris, and impeller is not corroded.  I suspect I should also consider replacing the mixing elbow as it's original (and in process of ordering that).  But I suspect the thermostat too.

Thanks,
Christian Caperton
