Satoh Buck Overheating

   / Satoh Buck Overheating #11  
I had a similar problem with my S470. Flushed system, replaced radiator cap
(9 lbs), and fan belt. No further overheating problems.

Today I flushed the system with Prestone Super Flush. The coolant was pretty nasty looking. I noticed that the flushing solution was foaming out of the overflow tube, with the cap on tight. It shouldn't have done that, since the cap seal is below the overflow hole. I replaced the cap with a 16 psi new cap, and filled with the proper mix of antifreeze. I did notice that I do see the coolant flowing over the coils of the radiator if I have the coolant level just above the top of the core and I run the engine at high idle. I mowed for about 45 minutes with no temp light and no other sign of overheating. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Iron Chief, The service manual calls for a 10psi cap.I just got the service manual and it is great.
