Hi all,
new to this site. Hopefully you all can help. My engine will not start after a few starts and stops running at medium to higher speeds. After I lift the engine cover the engine cools and after 2 minutes it will start. I think temperature is the key here. I notice that the engine cooling system is really really hot to the touch. I notice coolant in the bilge coming from the overflow tank at times. No leaks though when I refilled the coolant.
Three things come to mind.
1: clogged tubes in the heat exchanger
2: clogged freshwater cooling intakes or tubes
3: bad thermostat
what do you guys think? Thanks.
