Re: 1990 Rude, strong pee stream,but motor is hot to touch?
could very well be a t.stat problem. You would need to check a manual for your model, but I believe the water comes out of the tell-tale before it circulates through the head (i.e., tells you the pump is getting water up to the powerhead, but not whether it is circulating).<br /><br />Try removing the thermostat and see if it runs cool on the muffs -- should actually run too cool without the t.stat, but if the overheating problem disappears, you will know what the problem was.<br /><br />It isn't clear from you post whether the motor is actually overheating, but I'm assuming you believe it is. If you can't hold your fingers on the top of the head for a few seconds, it's probably running too hot.
