major bummer.
so I replaced old thermostat with new one. tested new one before installing. let the engine warm up then took the machine for a ride. no problems. started it up next day and it over heated. where to next? the water pump makes some noise but not a whole lot. there appears to be no wobble at the pump pulley. fan belt is tight. is it possible for the pump pulley to spin WITHOUT spinning the impeller?
I tried to detect movement of water in the radiator after the engine reached temp. but it looked like a stagnant pond. I have seen other cases where the water churned like the Colorado river.
I am stumped. any and all suggestions/theories appreciated.
thanks.
