Re: QD19 running a little hot?

Robert,
You can’t plug up the holes. Just get the hose flow enough to keep the cavity full of water. If the hose overflows your passage way from the relief holes going into the leg should allow water flow to go into the main leg to coolthe main exhaust. Lay your motor flat on the clamps so the relief holes are flat also. The extra water should go into the main part of the leg for cooling. I believe that is the problem. All the water flow now is exiting thru the relief holes & none is going into the main part of the leg. This too slows cooling for the powerhead as the exit passage way is restricted as well. Did you get my e mail? If not I’ll try again from another computer here.
Robert, I’m excited today. I recieved my 1953 Firestone 10hp motor. The bearings in the lower unit are trashed but I have new ones.
