Checks after starting engine
Cooling water
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole. A continuous flow of
water from the pilot hole indicates that the
water pump is pumping water through the

NOTICE
If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole
at all times while the engine is running,
