I recently purchased a 21 ft capri, Volvo 225 D (Chevy 305) and 280 outdrive, a boat that was donated. The report on the boat was that the 2nd cylinder was about 120 and 185 in the other seven. Also reported that it runs hot.
OK -I drained old gas and put in new. Fired it up-sounds strong but with a little skip (perhaps needs to blow out carbon, spark plug replaced , etc) and it is pumping water on rabbit ears. Temp gauge says about 150 but manifolds are hot to touch. Gauge may not be working right?
My plan is to change the impeller and take it down to the lake and see if in the water demand makes it overheat.
Any other suggestions? Many thanks
