Hello Icc<br /> You should see water exiting the exhaust releif port on the back of the leg, above the water line. If you dip a hand full of water out of the test tank, and drizzle on the cylender-head portion of your engine, you can tell if it is too hot. If it sizzles or steams, it's too hot. If the water lays there and dries slowly, it's ok. If you haven't changed your pump empeller and t-stat. (if equipt) now is a good time to do so. May I suggest you obtain a manual first. You can buy one or find them at your public library.
