So I finally have the JW15 up and running.
Before I started it for the first time, I stripped, cleaned and rebuilt the water pump. Now the engine runs ok (doesn't idle too good) but what concerns me is the lack of water flow out from the small rectangular tell tail vent. I made sure the pump worked ok before i refitted it by attaching the drive shaft to a drill and putting it in water. Span up to speed and got great flow.
Could the small internal tube that goes up to the engine possibly be blocked or some other coolant passage? Is there a way of unblocking this without stripping the entire engine?
So really.... how much water should I expect to see coming out of that vent? What is the normal path of the cooling system on this engine?
Regards
Matt.
