"4 cylinder Volvo temp ok at all higer rpms but heats rapidly to 200 f during idle.

Went as high as 225 f today after 5 minutes of trolling.

Ran fine back to dock, 11 miles and cooled right down to 190 in one minute or less.

We took a break for lunch, boat sat at mooreage for 2 hours. I had a brand new volvo raw water pump so I replaced the old one . The Key was in back wards and some wear on old pump but still looked functional.

However when we tried to start with new pump massive amounts of water came out of both carbs.

what happened?
