seconds, the engine shuts off. Refer to

PROBLEMS, on p.118.

Cooling System Indicator

COOLING SYSTEM INDICATOR
Water should flow from the cooling
system indicator while the engine is
running. This shows that water is
circulating through the cooling
system.
If water stops flowing while the
engine is running, it indicates a
cooling system problem, such as
clogged water intakes, which will
cause engine overheating.
The cooling system indicator
discharge port can also become
plugged.
