I recently purchased a Pearson 323 with an Atomic 4. I have been having an issue with the T-fitting getting clogged with debris causing the engine to overheat. I have two questions I hope someone can answer.
First, the material that is clogging the fitting looks like flakes of rust. I am hoping that a acid flush will remove this permanently. Has anyone seen this before and is there something else I should do to resolve this issue?
Second, my T-type fitting has four very small holes at the bottom versus a single large through hole. I am considering drilling out two of these hole to provide more clearance for any debris. Is there any reason I should not modify this fitting?
