V
Yes
Is cooling system in good order?
(Check cylinder head gasket for leaking, water pump, water hose and radiator
fins for clogging and thermostat for malfunctioning.)
No
Z
Repair cooling system.

Is injection timing correct?
No
Z

CAUTION
Overheating is mostly caused by mis-matching load
to the engine. If overheating arises only when the
engine drives a load, measure the ambient
temperature and coolant temperature under the
working load condition (with full open thermostat) to
see if the rise of the temperature is 60°C or lower
than ambient temperature. If it exceeds, it is
recommended to check other factors than engine
main parts.
