I hope someone is able to give me a little insight as to what my solution would be,
I have a 1999 4.3 GL that is having an overheating issue on the starboard side of the engine. I have replaced the impeller in the sea water pump, the circulating pump, and the thermostat to no avail. I have also pulled the exhaust manifold and riser off that side to search for any clogs, all is well. Is there something that I am missing?
Side note is that when replacing the carburetor a few months ago there were hoses that lead to the top of the valve covers on both the starboard and port side. The new carburetor did not have a receiving port for the starboard hose so we capped it off (this was advised by a local boat mechanic). I don't believe this would have anything to do with it but it does happen to be the side I am having overheating issues.
Any help would be appreciated
thank you,
Brandon
