Honda BF50D giving me fits..... (cooling issue?)

If you've done everything as Alan said he did and properly, then your only option is to pull the head off and have it professionally cleaned. I been ghete and tried cleaning myself and still had an overheat. There are tiny passages that get blocked and are inaccessible, unless you can chemically clean

Ok, I haven’t done that. Thanks for following up. I appreciate the recommendation. Sounds like I will be doing that in the near future.

Before you rip into it, are you certain you've got an overheat condition and you've pulled the exhaust side cover plate and checked the drain holes at the bottom below the anode are not blocked?
