Why the hell am I over heating?
I just got the superjet running, 650 motor with ROGO head, MSD Enhancer, Coffy Pipe, Air Filter, clean-up Porting. I forget exactly, butI think I am running a 135 main jet and a 60 low, with a 2.0 needle and seat. I got the bottom end dialed in today, and noticed water filling in the bilge when the motor ran. I did some searching and noticed a cooling line misisng a clamp, the one coming in from the jet pump, new clamp, problem solved. At the same time I noticed the motor was runnin extremely hot when it was leaking, I was hoping the fresh clamp would fix the over heating but it didnt. The head gets so hot that I can't even touch it without burning myself and screaming "&*#%". The motor actually steams it is so hot.
Why am I running so hot? I know for a fact this isnt normal, everything is fresh and the motor was apart for the porting and I was told that the motor looked very good and no problems. ALl the seals are fresh as well. The only thing I can think is the cooling set up, which I am pretty sure is done right. But just for kicks and grins, does anybody have a diagram for the cooling set up for a Coffman 650 pipe?
I need suggestions!
Thanks dudes!
