Re: 1955 Fleetwin, running hot?

quote FrankR:

It’s real hard imagining water cooling the powerhead and not exiting that wide open hole. Why don’t you just put in a new core plug and see what happens before exploring further. BTW, I’ve seen lots of them with that plug rotted out.

I agree with Frank, don’t rip this thing apart further. Replace the core plugs, impeller, and seal components then run it again. My nickel says your problems will be solved.
