No but I backed it out with it running to see if the light would go out I didn't make a difference so I don't think washers are going to change it but I'll try I rebuild my carburetor. The little thing running has been sitting for like a year and a half got the carburetor all tuned in drove it about 30 miles it ran great then I ran a manual choke cable because the air conditioning has been eliminated on it and it starts hard well when I was running the choke cable leaned over on the motor that's when I broke the temperature switch and I've had nothing but trouble since then
