Re: Workhorse heating up and losing power
You'd be amazed how much goo and gunk get stuck inside the plastic engine shroud - and in the cylinder fins - which severely affects engine cooling. Pull the shroud, I'd be willing to bet between that and the actual cylinder fins You're plugged solid which is causing the overheating. As a rule, on all my "personal" carts I make sure and clean them out every season if not more often.
