Hey everyone I'm back. With the same problem. Watch the two videos in order (the 2nd video is in next post), it's all one video but I had to stop and start again.
Took it out on lake, thought I had the problem fixed. If you all remember, I still had tape over the water intake last time and thought that was the problem. Well, I removed the tape, and also replaced the thermostat housing gasket. Well, the same thing happened. It' ran great for a couple minutes. Slowed down and it stalled. Then it wouldn't start. Took off cover and splashed water on the head.....it sizzled. Something's up???
What temp should the thermostat open up at? I'm gonna check it again, but if I remember last week when I checked it, I had to get the water about boiling before it opened up. I have a feeling that's too hot. I'm gonna check it again and actually check the water temp w/a meat thermometer. It was still not spitting much water out the exhaust. Just a misty sprinkle.
Ok, I'm gonna figure this out if it kills me.

Put thermostat housing back on and had big water coming out the exhaust!! I also noticed the head gasket leaking a little bit. That doesn't surprise me since I did just replace the head a couple weeks ago and DID NOT replace the head gasket. Oh well, I can order one of those easy enough and replace it. At least I solved the overheating problem. Woohoo! Thanks everyone!!
