it was some kind of super high flow blah blah blah, whatever.
So I replaced it with a real part from NAPA this time.

The thermostat on my Elky is about as common and easy to replace as any. I have always tried to get a higher quality one. The last one worked fine for a summer, but in winter just decided to stay mostly open, so I had pitifully bad heat. So drain down the radiator a bit and put in a new 7!dollar thermostat. Now I have great heat again.
