does the engine keep losing water /you dont have a cracked block or anything like that do ya' and please dont open the cap when the engine is hot as it can spray hot coolant at you and it does not feel good to get burnt

--- yes you can have the engine running when you spray carb cleaner down the carb but as always be carefull when doing so,,, make sure to get the butterflies really clean as it can make the engine run rough when carboned up at idle let us know what happens ok
