Is the water suppost to come out of the those 4 holes at the back of the upper mid-section? I don't see any water coming out any where as I run it. I do feel what seems to be a bit of exhaust though? Thanks , Tom

I had one of those that I bought brand new. Never could tell if it was pumping except for feeling the cylinder. While on that subject, the cylinder head around the spark plug and the flat exhaust plate on the side get blazing hot because those areas are not directly water cooled.
I figure just make sure the water pump is in good condition and then don't worry about it.
Yes water is supposed to come out those holes. However, it usually doesn't, especially at idle. What does come out is just haphazardly blown out. It would seem that it instead just runs down the inside of the housing and never sees the holes. I even went so far as to drill some extra holes and it still wouldn't blow out.

Well, Thanks for the help. I just bought it and I guess I will assume it is just ok. Seems you could never tell and you must have never had any real trouble . Thanks , Tom
