Started my little used DF 90 to get ready to winterize it. Engine lower unit is in water, not on muffs.
Ran it at a fast idle and it overheated after about 10 minutes. Checked the thermostat and it was open. Checked the poppit valve and it was closed, both of which are normal from what I know. The motor was peeing.
Impeller was replaced a while back, and has minimal hours on it.
Odd thing I noticed, was that the water outlet hose, when disconnected from the thermostat cover, had pressure in it. Not constant, like you would expect from a pump, but puffs of pressure and a bit of water coming out of it.
Is that normal? Not sure whats up here.
