"Who can give me some advice?
"Who can give me some advice? I start my engine and if I leave it run at idle (700 RPMs) it heats up to over 180*. Then if I raise the RPMs to about 1500-1800 it drops right down to about 140*. Over the winter I had the empeller in the outdrive changed but it didn't help. Today I went to take out the thermostat and behold, there wasn't one in the system. I took a heavy bristled brush and scrubbed on the outdrive where the water intakes are but no help.
Inside the engine compartment, the hose coming off the circulating pump and going to the fitting above the thermostat is cold as are the two coming off the exhaust manifolds. The other three hoses are vey hot.
If anyone has any idea please help me out. Thank you, Bob"
