The idiot light on my Yanmar 1700 lights up after a few minutes of light mowing to indicate overheating. The radiator is full and the overflow is 1/2 full. Top hose seems hot and overflow is cool. Any suggestions or should I just pull the radiator and have it rodded?

Also, can i add automotive type gauges to get rid of these idiot lights (mechanical gauges for temp, oil pressure, and charging?)

thanks

My Yanmar 1700 seems to be overheating... at least the idiot light comes on. Initially, I thought I had an oil pressure prob but the three idiot lights were placed ion the lens backward (!) The radiator is full and the overflow is about 1/2 full. The top hose gets hot but the overflow remains cool.
any suggestions before i pull the radiator and take it down to be cleaned? Also, can I add an automotive type temp gauge?
thanks!
