I need a bit of help from the forum, please. I put my tin in the water today after having it sit up for a couple months. Fresh gas and oil were used. It started up fine, idled well, took off like a champ, but only made it about 200 yards before stalling and smoking very bad. I didn't really pay attention to whether or not it was pumping water (my mistake, I know) but the water pump was extremely hot when I took off the cover. I let it cool down for about an hour but it wouldnt start. At home tonight I was able, thankfully, to get it running again. I had the flush attachment on and there was no water coming out. Before I take it in for service, how can I check for clogs in the cooling system? Any suggestions at all on what to do are appreciated.
