i have installed 98 115 spl, started it up today and is peeing good but seems like the heads are getting to warm, so i unhooked hose from thermostat to head and no water when i restarted. is this normal or do i need to do some digging.
I would drop the lower unit then and change the water pump as well as the t stats. Cheap parts but their failure is catastrophic. When the lu is down, remove 1 tstat (thermostat) at a time and flush the water line with compressed air or the garden hose from the water line to the t stat housing, then backflush from the housing to the water line. Replace it with a new one, then repeat for the other. Clean out the water intake area. This will complete your cooling system and give you peace of mind.
