Re: QD19 running a little hot?

[beerman57]

I can’t find anything wrong, it’s wide open from the top of the midsection and out the snout. Some people are suggesting there might be a water passage to cool the exhaust gasses that is blocked. Why, why, why would the shift handle cool off from being up on plane but not the upper midsection. Shoot, it’s already discolored, I guess it will probably get a crack in it soon. I probably should have pulled the exhaust cover off before I re-installed the P/H a couple hours ago. But if the exh. cover wasn’t getting enough water flow, wouldn’t it get discolored pretty quick?
