Water cooling

[deepdiver]

One of the exhaust water outlets does'nt put out much water. It is the starboard one coming from the head. Should I be concerned and what is the fix?

Head pisser, or rear head water outlet?

Its the small hose coming off the top of head, exiting thru small pipe on tail.

Its a tell-tale, it lets you know water is circulating the cooling system. On that old of a ski, it is a good idea to disconnect EACH hose one at a time and wire out the connector & hose, then air-chuck to ensure its not coagilated. That water should
be overly warm, but not scalding hot. Test your head temp sensor useing the pan
method as described in your shop manual, it should change ohm at 203* appr. Test
your overheat beeper by simply grounding the sensor wire to a head bolt while running or ignition armed. Bill

Thank you. I will run wire into fitting and through hose as recoed. The water isn't overly hot just low flow. My buzzer is dead but I will test sensor. I'll also go looking for the Radio Shack buzzer. When I followed that link last time I couldn't verify the voltage in the spec.

how did it work out 4 you? i have a similar prob

I didn't find much in the tube but happy I cleaned it out. I'll accept water flow as OK.
When I tested sensor in a pot on my range I wasn't happy. The sensor is not displaying an clear ON/OFF I get a changing resistance, gradually changing but not from infinity to zero. After replacing the buzzer, it alerts at a low sound level even though not overly hot. So I may look to replace the sensor after researchng it.
I did have success finding replacement Non-Radio shack buzzer, actually the OEM for Bombadier. I'll post that story separately.
