I bought this Honda a few weeks ago and i having a problem with it, the water pump does work but i believe not the way it should.It has water flow when cold then when hot the water flow is less to the point the flow is intermittent and not full. I took apart the bottom to access the water pump, the tube above the water pump which connects to the water pump has and angle cut on the end. I connected a plastic gas hose with a tight fit to it filled it with water and blew in the hose. I saw some water come out of the exit hole but as much came back inside the foot where the exhaust is.I also found i needed to blow quite hard for the water to come out of the exit hole.I need to know if this is normal or should all the water come out the exit hole? thank you in advance if some has an answer for me. I do seem to have a heating problem with the motor after about 10 minutes of running is slows down then stalls.
