Hi, my engine ran great all last year this spring it had some problems stalling out at idle so I cleaned out the carbs and installed a new fuel pump diaphram kit. The engine ran great for about half an hour then it just crapped out while cruising and would not restart. I drained gas and put new gas in same problem happened after running it for another hour without a problem. The first time it crapped out I noticed the water pump indicator stream started to spray instead of coming out in a stream, few seconds later it shut down. Next time I started the engine in my driveway the water pump indicator (pee hole) was clogged completely so I pried out a piece of what looked like a thin piece of rusted material then the indicator resumed spraying water instead of it coming out in a normal stream. I have the feeling something possibly the coils in the engine are overheating but it is very frustrating since I had no problems last year. Could the slight blockage of the indicator hole have anything to do with the engine shut downs? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
