There should be some sort of outlet on lower unit to let out some of the water depends on the model.<br />water should not be to hot to touch.Also simply touch the head and side of cylinder if its an over heat will be to hot to touch.You may have a<br />fuel flow problem.Be sure gas lines are clear and<br />tank vent is open and working.If motor sits around a lot the whole fuel system may need cleaning. Good luck.
