145 quad overheating - water not pumping though engine

my 145 has suddenly began to overheat. it seems as if there is no water pumping though the engine. the heater has also stopped working.

what parts could be prone to breakage that would cause this problem?

Old thread... Ever resolve the issue?
A stuck closed thermostat would certainly cause some overheating issues. Check the cheapest, work towards the pricey stuff.

Might also be the propeller at water pump worked loose, not the first time it happen.
Anyway, hope you had the problem solved by now.

this happend to me too. easy check is to take the reservoir cap off and look into it then rev the engine whilst still looking and you should see the water moving about, if not i'd be 99% certain the impeller has worked loose
