Im saying that once temp reaches 140 it runs fine. before that it runs as if the engine is starving for fuel. i use the choke when i first start it to idle a bit higher. the shifting part I mean that before it gets to 140 degrees it acts as if im pressing the clutch half way and trying to drive like that. it is a 3 speed on the column. the actual movement of putting it into gear is not the issue. i have to check in the am what tstat is in there.
