My temperature gauge does not have numbers, it just has green and red. It heats up slowly (just like you describe) and creeps into the red area after about 30 minutes. It does not seem to cool off quickly either. After testing and changing a bunch of parts, I tried the IR thermometer and learned that the engine block was only 160 degrees when the gauge shows red. Probably too cold for the engine to run well. For now I am just checking the temp every so often while running the machine. Next chance I get, plan to replace the temp sender and gauge, and reinstall the thermostat.</blockquote>
