Blaster over heating

[Gavin]

Hi,

Need some help please, we bought the blaster a month ago and noticed its running really hot after like 5mins. The engine, exhaust and waterpipe all sizzle if you pour water over but there is loads of water coming out from the pissers.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

check that your water lines do not have any cracks and make sure all of the lines are still on the barbs and tight. Also check the line from your pump to your hull.

Open the screws on the head pipe to allow for more water also the head pipe may need to be cleaned

Dual cooling? How are your waterlines run? Whats that waterline on the back of the head? I think your waterlines are incorrect.

If you have single cooling and that rear waterline off the head is going to the headpipe i would "Y" the two head lines into one and then into the headpipe. Single waterline from the pump should be matched with a single pisser. Dumping part of the water overboard before going into the pipe makes for a hot exhaust in the summer.

I cant see any screws on the head pipe.

This is what I thought, is only a single line cooling from the pump. Ill give it ago thanks for the help.

Just Y pieced the 2 head pipes together and ran to the exhaust seems to work fine.
