Sunday I didn't make a mile and poof. 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.

Water pump on order, it may even be riginal pump in there so just change as precaution. Again thanks much for your suggestions!
