It isn't getting enough water. Either the muffs aren't supplying enough, or the water pump has an issue or two.

Re: cooling issue xr6 150

well let run again the water started to come out. I put lower end in a big tote full of water. it started to spit at first then started to flow good after about 45 sec. maybe I did not run long enough to heat up? it was about 50 degrees out today. as far as the poppet valve I know were it is at but I thought that cracks open at high loads. Also how would you tell if is stuck open?
