Hi,

I have included 4 pictures that I need at ask questions about regarding where water should, and should not be coming from on my motor.

First pix: While hooked up to the muffs, there is a stream of water coming out of this little hole... right or wrong.

2nd pix: While on the muffs there is no water coming from here, however when in the water, seems like a lot of water comes out both openings. (and exhaust..)

3rd and 4th pix, small amount of water comes out here when on muffs, unknown what happens when the motor is in the water.

At all times telltale has lots of water.

Motor was run on muffs for about 5 minutes at slightly high idle.

Thanks, Kerry

P.S. Motor originally overheated after idling for 3 - 5 minutes...otherwise runs fine at speed. Have changed thermostats since and wanting to verify operation...
