POWER UNIT 6-39
OPERATION
WATER COOLING SYSTEM
The water cooling system consists of the water pump (in the lower unit), the water tube (between the lower
unit and the power unit) and the thermostat (in the cylinder). This system cools both the power unit and the
exhaust and is shown in schematic form below.
If overheating occurs, the components of the cooling system must be inspected for blockage, corrosion
build-up or damage.
