had problems with overheating (buzzer doesn’t work so only knew by touching the block and it was extremely hot). So I decided to take a look at the water pump. The picturesthay follow are what I found when I took off the water pump.
Inside the outtake for the water pump ( peice that connects to the hose in the upper portion of the leg) had a plastic bushing and a rubber peice wedged inside! All mangled and stuck.
AND the housing is melted. Melted!! Wow. Previous owner was some kinda... woooowwww. Hahahaha. Least it’s all fixed and new now. Seems to pump and cycle through the engine. Doesn’t get as hot. Now the linkage for forward and reverse is acting. I think I know why. Gonna try fix this tomorrow and then hopefully alllllssss goooood. Thanks all!!
