mmmkay....my H heat temp gauge pegs at "hot".
I purchased it used, but running in Oct 13. I pulled ALL the hardware, and replaced everything, including installing a 180 thermostat (which was missing) and a new waterpump. Carb rebuild, new radiator, hoses, air handling, wires, plugs, battery, etc., and flushed the system and a lot of grit came out, but it flushed o.k.
Added new antifreeze, pushed the starter and she fired up same as the day I bought it.
but..run in for 10 minutes, and the gauge pegs far right, way past "hot", and it boils a lot of antifreeze out of the overflow hose at the top of the radiator. When I pulled the temp sensor, the head has my new antifreeze...????
So....I'm thinking that the water pump isn't functioning correctly, unless someone here tells me I should go look elsewhere?
Not sure where to start. I'm thinking that since the head has antifreeze, but the radiator fluid level is well below the cap (so..lower than the head), it must be plugged somewhere?
Anyone else encounter this? The radiator / waterpump install was pretty simple, but maybe I'm missing something?
