    YM2000 getting a little hot

    Flushed the block, it took all the water the hose was putting out, refilled 50/50, Could this getting hot be caused by a worn out water pump? Do the impellers wear down or does the pump usually seize up?

    YM2000 getting a little hot

    well i suppose if yours runs at 195 then 180 or 190 might not be too hot....just a little worrisome to me. one more question, if its a head gasket issue does the outside temp really matter? if i run the tractor when its 60 outside it doesnt get hot, but anything over about 85 or so and its an...

    YM2000 getting a little hot

    YM2000 coolant is brown colored and getting hot

    ok, so if i understand this, it will push everything through the block out and up through the radiator? through the cap opening?

    YM2000 coolant is brown colored and getting hot

    i have replaced the red light with a gauge, that shows 190-200, running a 5 ft cutter, medium depth pasture.. i have read about flushing the block, just a little unsure about how to go about that.

    YM2000 coolant is brown colored and getting hot

    after having a radiator cleaned out why would the coolant show a brown color in the overflow bottle? noticed that the tractor is running a little hotter than normal, 190-200 on a gauge. No water in the oil, or vice versa that I can tell. could it be from the block? if so how do I clean that...

    Yanmar 2210D Over heating with 5' King Kutter finishing mowe

    i have yanmar 2000, started running hot. wouldnt do it all the time, put a temp guage on it to be sure it wasnt just the sensor. turned out it was the radiator stopped up. looked like it was circulating fine but wasnt cooling adequately. 50 bucks to clean it out and it is good as gold.
