    Besides your possible clogs, keep in mind this engine has a guide #321515 NLA for the water tube up against the exhaust snout. When this motor sees an overheat that guide melts and the top closes up. The grommet #302497 at the top melts also. Both can cause an obstruction for water flow to the powerhead. The motor will usually get enough to run at idle and maybe keep up for a short time, but then overheat. The guide and grommet are ref #s 114 &115 on ME. I found a couple of guides on Ebay a month ago. Just keep that in mind as you go hunting for your overheat problems with these early 35hp motors.
