Up until it started getting cold the damn thing worked great. Engine cold flaps shut and would open fully as the engine reached close to 300. or so.

Now that is it cold here 50 this morning I got the heads up to 350 and pulled over to see whats up. Flaps only half open!!! wierd. I have all the tin including the warm air guides fully functional heater everything.

Confident the engine was warm I lossened the cable pinch bolt flaps sprang open and I drove to work. 1 eye on the road 1 eye on the CHT. Gosh these cars are a PITA sometimes.
I suppose there is some special german one of a kind tool to set the point of opening in relation to temperature. I don't got one!
