I have an E35, Model No B007116, year unknown, probably 95 or later, but could be older.<br /><br />It sits for the entire summer with the engine down (Harbour regulations) and is used intermittently to get me out to my yacht, so it is not used much, or for long periods.<br /><br />It fires up OK, but very little water comes from the tell tale. If fact it only spurts when you rev it up. Seems to deliver power OK, however.<br /><br />Steam comes out if I throttle back, and the engine runs hot. Refuses to start if too hot.<br /><br />Steam also appears to come from the exhaustv ports, but this could be an illusion.<br /><br />It has been to the service people several times. Had 2 major services and gasket replacement etc. They say's its OK. Now beginning to cost real money.<br /><br />I plan to flush it out: I presume I can do this with the hose attached, but the with the engine in the water? (Avoids haul out)<br /><br />Anyone got any other ideas? I would be greatful to receive the collective wisdom of this group
Do you have a service manual? If not get one.. The small motors are not that difficult to do maintenance on, even for first timers..
