Why would you even want to consider doing this?Originally posted by piper8150 View Post
You can run without the motor cover. You can run without the trim and tilt system being installed. You can run without the intake box being installed. You can do a lot of stuff. But why? -
because there out for testing and they are good ,I guess I just want to know why I need them. If they stick shut you overheat. why take a chance if it does not hurt anything ? or maybe it does ?Comment

As relevant your points are, unregulating the water cooling, or indeed opening up the water flow means the engine will run cold. The affects of this are unregular or incomplete burning of the fuel leading to high fuel consumption and poor engine performance. Physically things would not heat expand to the designed tolerance spaces. In this two stroke I would hazard to suggest this is irrelevant as much as I can hear protests to me saying that.Originally posted by piper8150 View PostComment

from what I have read over the years,Originally posted by piper8150 View Post
if you remove the stats on any water cooled motor, there will be areas that run too cold and other areas that run too hot due to the water not circulating as it as designed to.
Some recommended to put a restrictor in place of the stats to force water to all of the places, but why do it. just keep proper working stats in them as they were designed.Comment

+1 ^^^. They do help regulate the water flow thru out the engine..
They also help the engine warm up to normal operating temperatures as well.
If your flushing regularly and inspect occasionally, their pretty much maintenance free...Scott

and they are part of the water pressure control.
