I have a 47 H with a bizzare temp issue. First, I don't know what normal op temp of an H is. I've always known gas engines to be 209, but this one runs at about 150 degrees. I can run it around all day and it's like , 150, 160. If I let it run on a down hill, and today was bad. I didn't notice it at first, but it was like 220. as soon as I move off the downhill posture it goes back to normal. This has been like this all summer. It may have been like that since I've owned it, but I never noticed it till now. It never overheated, and the radiator is new. Obviously, I checked the coolant level and it's normal.
If I let it run while pointed up hill on a hill, it's fine. Pointed down hill on a hill, and the temp goes up steadily. All I've done so far is just not let it run on a down hill too long. The temp may go past 220 if I let it that way, but I didn't want to find out.
I'm guessing perhaps a weak water pump? I've never seen a gas engine temp have issues with its uphill/downhill relation. Any ideas?
