It is R134A
Should I go back to R12 I'll pay 25 bucks a pound if it works.
Down in Texas, for the summer, I would be interested in seeing the result of running the 617 with no thermostat.

In this situation, the engine will stabilize at about 65°C. and will only climb if under heavy load or when it has reduced airflow. Starting off at 65°C. instead of 80°C. will give you that much more margin in terms of time.

You could leave it out all summer and report back on how it did for you.

I'm very sure that we would be interested in the results, and, additionally, if it still gets up to 100°C.
