I really appriciate all the ideas that I'm getting. It makes me feel good that someone cares. :rolleyes:

Niagara, I've upped the idle and checked the timing. My belt is okay.

Dan, I can't rely on my guage it's really inacurate. But I know it's overheating 'cause by the time I stop it's boiling over whether I'm rolling or stopped.

Fred, I tried 2 different water pumps. I guess I'll check the rear drain plug and see what comes out.

If it's gunky, maybe I won't have to pull the head and just flush it real good.

Thanks all for the ideas. john.
