just got a 'project boat' w an old 04 yan single cylinder 1 gm 10-- raw water cooled. people are suggesting i 'flush the engine''s cooling system' to get the salt out or " the salt deposits will interfere w cooling " and 'won't be dissolved by running the engine in fresh water.' has anyone ever done this ? raw water cooled = no heat exchanger and no antifreeze reservoir .
one suggestion was to empty the cooling system , shut the intake kingston cock and let white vinegar sit in the cooling system for a day or 2.... Note the last time the engine ran, it showed no sign of overheat. so maybe i just shouldn't worry about it.
all thoughts and ideas welcome.
