On my 2006 Optimax 175 after a long run then at idle the steam will roll out it waves from the exaust, like there will be a little then like water dumps in and more steam comes out.....
Its been doing this for a while but a mechanic i talked to said it was fine i had good water pressure..... This made me leary.....
Then this week i was fishing at a dam and i would idle up at 2500-3000 rmps or so and my alarm would go off .... if i ran a good ways it would be ok....
Then i get a reply to my you tube video of the steam and a guy tells me my poppet valve it stuck open is this true?
Here is the video
