Maybe you didn't get the water tube into the hole right. Probably will have to drop it back down and take look see.
If what Eddison says is right, disconnet the pee indicator hose inside the cowling and run water through the system backwards, then try again. Maybe remove the stats temporarly and then you would get instant water, less chance of overheating.
