Hi i´m from Mexico , i have a force 150hp motor, recently i change the water pump because the motor overheats, but the problem persist, i dont know if i replaced well the water pump or exist and other problem , what should i check?
Did you replace the thermostat?
You can try running the motor without the thermostat to check if it makes a difference.Also, have the make sure that none of the carbs are running too lean, as this will overheat 1 or 2 cylinders and burn up the motor.
hi¡¡¡ me again, i tried running the motor without the thermostat and theres not a difference, i put the thermostat again and i note another problem, when i start the motor the water pump works good but when im running the water pump not work properly, i mean the water flow in the escape stops and the motor overheat, inmediatly i reduce the RPM from 6000 to 1500 and the water pump work good again and the motor start to keep cool, what should i need to check?, or what shoul i need to do??
Ahhh¡¡¡ and can you send me a diagram of how is the correct way to replace the water pump, because i think , the problem its there¡¡.
Thank you i´ll be waiting for your answer
