I made It about a mile in and started heating up the motor it was a total bummer but life goes on now I'm looking for a overflow bottle and some in line coolers if anyone has those pm me a price and pics please. Id like to thank Dave5.0 and everyone for the parts and advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicklez Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Its all stock ordered a impeller and jetting is fine same with leaks motor is brand new and leaked down fine with hood compression Shouldnt be having overheating problems. Make sure your water is flowing and your not lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Dont think we're lean. Plugs looked good and he barely rode it. I think the stock impeller is prob junk. Hopefully we get that replaced it'll clear a lot of the issues up. Been so long since I've messed with a bone stock bike, I forgot how crappy the cooling system is.

Did you overfill the radiator or have a bad cap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Are you sure you were overheating? Did you overfill the radiator or have a bad cap? Bad cap is something I hadn't thought about. New ones are pretty cheap too. We filled it then ran it. It spewed as expected. Then it would eventually spew again. If u run it cold with the cap off there's little to no movement in the radiator. Then after a while we'd get a big blast and we'd have to shut it off. Then you can here it percolating like its steaming. That's why I was thinking it needs an impeller. Thought about head gasket but it doesn't blow all the time. It'll build up then blow, then repeat. Like it gets hot. We let it cool, and try it again. We bled the screws on the jugs too but it didn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarineNYC Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 yeah I use to ride my ported bike with just a billit impeller in Glamis. never had a problem with any type of overheating . did you actually check the impeller to make sure that it's not broken or sheered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he didn't have a new one so I thought we'd give it a whirl. He was wantin to ride so I took a shot. I spun everything from the backside but shoulda pulled the w/p cover. Kinda f'd that one up. But we didn't run it enough to hurt it and he got just a little seat time so he knows what it feels like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
