[Alberg30] A4 over heating

[C.B. Currier]

on the starboard side(assuming the flywheel is the towards the bow) where
the t connector fits onto the motor, or behind the alternator. Where the t
connector fit is a good source of potential blockage. First try taking off
the connector and see if it is blocked. It should be made of brass but water
scale can stop it up. Likely this may be the first and most logical problem.
 Also look at the lines running from the h20pump. Make sure they are clear
as well.Only do the removal of the inspection plate if all else fails. This
could be a bear to get back together.
