Yes, there is a thermostart, @8ha did mention that too. I had a look the other night but the pipe to it is solid from the solenoid valve to the manifold. But I think from the pump to the solenoid is rubber, so I could clamp it there for starters.
Would the solenoid for it be thermostat controlled, or would it be on a timer? I know you don't know this particular engine, but I'm wondering what usual practice might be.
Good news if you do have a thermostart, and it is faulty.
They are still available.
Well worth a precautionary change on that anyway, they can cause damage if they aren't working properly.
With the ones I have met before, you turn up the key to a mid position, a bit like old fashioned glows. Count to twenty, and then spin over.
No timer.
