Mechanic said whatever it is wasn't something pre existing it's something that had just happened, I just called and said change water pump also, being that these guys are only charging me parts at cost no labor I may as well.
Not that I am the all knowing guru of 2 strokes, but my diagnoses would be overheating which is also a symptom-not a cause, now you need to find the cause of overheating, check water pump. Certainly not a lean problem, no evidence points to lean burn. All evidence points to overheat.
