Hey guys, I'm looking for some insight before I just go throwing parts at my viper. I got it off my cousin, it's been sitting in a barn for the last like 10 years. I had a local small engine mechanic clean the carbs and clutch on it and got it running good. I ran it around my yard for a couple mins to make sure everything was working and the temp light came on. I parked it and looked in the coolant reservoir and saw bronze glitter for the lack of a better term floating on top and around the reservoir. It's was evening and maybe 50 fahrenheit and obviously no snow. Just over heating because of the conditions and maybe old/bad gas? Should I just flush the coolant and hope for the best? How can I check that the water pump is circulating? I was going to check the thermostat but opened up the assembly and it didn't have one. Any help for someone who doesn't know much about sleds would be very appreciated lol thanks
