Re: Choke thermostat source?

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

Yes.  The  http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/Thermostats.htm is the one who
had 5 NOS ones available at $500.

The other, http://www.carburetor.ca/ (Rusty) said they have nothing.

Neither mentioned generic replacements.  Which one claimed to have those?
I'll check again.

Thanks.
