Hi All,
New to the Forums here but not to watercraft, I have used SBT products for years and have had excellent results. I have a situation here that I can seem for the life of me to be able to figure out. I have been working on watercraft for years and have never ran into a situation like this before, I have a put in a brand new Kawi SBT 1100 in a 1997 STX and have checked everything as I always do prior to a engine exchange..The old engine was a granade the front cylinder and rod so I tried to track down why, so, I checked : Pump cooling lines,pullled carbs apart:Cleaned & Rebuilt and set to spec,Stator cooling lines replaced with clear lines to check cooling,Oil pump bled & Lines all good and run where there supposed to be.
The only thing I found was there was a lot of sand in the lines and cooling passages,cleaned and flushed out...So My dilima...
The Pipe gets cool but the cylinders and head get too hot to touch and I am afraid to keep running it in the fact that it very well may lock up.I have tried the hose on full blast,on half way and to right down to a trickle and they still run hot...
I have water out the Rt side pisser,out the waterbox, and the Exhaust, from manifold to the stator and out the incoming cooling lines.I have pinched off both incoming cooling and drain as you do to winterize and I still have horrible heat coming off the cylinders.
The only thing that I can think of is that I used OEM Kawi gaskets on the exhaust ports..All of them: Manifold to Cyl and Exp-chamber to head pipe.
Any thoughts????
