I see a lot of posts on engines overheating under various conditions. Mine overheated after 3-5 minutes at full throttle. After reading lots and lots of posts, I decided to tear the damn thing down and do some looking. Look what I found! Seal was smashed on feed tube coming up from the water pump. I whittled it out with a knife. Look at the difference! I am going to order new seals and gaskets and put her back together. I think this is the problem and it's solved!!:):)
