Hi,<br /><br />just a short one: Ive just bought a 10hp Honda 4-stroke, its one of those older models still painted in blue with a white cover. When I pull the cord it starts up immediatly and idles normal and constantly, but theres no cooling water coming out of the motor nowhere?! Is that normal, means: do these engines need a couple of minutes without a flow of coolant to warm up? Is there something like a thermostatic-valve that shuts off the coolant completly while the motor has not its correct working temperature? Have never heard about something like that but Ive also never owned a Honda before and who knows? SDeems to be a fine little motor and I dont want to cause serious damage by let it run hot.... Thanks for any hints in advance,<br /><br />Rotti from Germany
