I was wondering if someone could help me find where the thermostat is on this model. If it's easy to access I might pull it out myself. I suspect it might be stuck open. I have the problem of stalling in gear after a long run and trying to restart after 20 min or so. If the motor is now cold and the thermostat still open then this could lead to the mixture being too rich and the engine stalling. Also when on the flusher and the engine idling it only takes a couple of minutes for the water to come out of the exhaust. I have heard this can be a sign of a thermostat being stuck open, but they were speaking generally and not this make and model specifically. Also are there any other ideas as to why it is sometimes stalling in gear (note it runs fine first thing)?
