"I just had my carb rebuilt, with a new float and I also replaced a stuck-open thermostat. Previously, the engine would over heat and was hard to start. Starting in now no problem. The repair shop showed no obstruction in the cooling. But, after I got the engine back from the shop and put back on the boat, have noticed that after 5-10 minutes, steam starts to come from the lower unit. The previous owner had the water pump replaced on 2005, if that means anything. Also noticed that when the engine cuts out, the bulb in the fuel line gets soft. When I pump it up while the engine is running, the engine starts to run smoother, but only for a few seconds, until it begins to stop again. Have noticed when I replaced the thermostat, the small chamber that the stat sits in does not seen to have any openings under the stat. Is the water supposed to run thru the stat? I need my motor before winter comes.
HELP"
