Curt,
 
My 1914 Famous, 6hp, screen cooled, gear water pump engine has a factory  
restrictor water flow system on it. It comes after the water pump,  restricts 
the amount of water going to the jacket and the excess goes directly  back 
into the water tank via a pipe going into the large hole in the tank sheet  
metal about half way up. You control the flow by a valve. All of this is at  
the back of the engine near the pump and tank.  Restricting the water to  
the jacket makes it heat up good, comes down the screen hot and heats  up the 
rest of the water in the tank.  On cold days, there is a sheet metal  cover 
over one side of the screen restricting the air flow thru it.  I  think on 
real cold days, two covers were used, one on either side.  I have  my engine 
apart right now, but hope to have it together in a few weeks and will  send 
you some photos.
