Hi
I have 87, 88SPL. I have an overheat alarm at HIGH RPM. After about 4 or so min at 70% throttle or better. It will idle ALL DAY at 0%-70% or so with out overheat alarms.
I have heard that it may be corrosion in the water jacket, the deflectors. BUT if I was to REMOVE the T-Stats all together wouldn't that open up a little more water flow. I live in Florida. Water temp on the river now is 80-85 degrees. I can live with a rough idle for a few minuets before the heads warm up if I was to remove the T-Stats.
Any ideas? Would removal of the T-Stats increase water flow at all?
Thanks a lot guys!!
