Thread: trouble shoot heat loss with legend xl

Legend has recentley stopped getting as hot as it use to. doesn't top 190. What are some things I need look at or things I need to do? I am 21/2 hours from Jon Don. Would like to figure this out on my own if I could. Machine is only two years old.

Thank you for any help

check to see if your heat echangers arent plugged up. I am not sure about your equipent but there should be an access panel to do just that. you might need a stailess wire brush to do it with

Where exactly is the bypass screens and orifice located?

Thanks Guys, Goinng to descale also. Do I just put descaler in water box then hook up solution line to water inlet and solution outlet and run for a bit? Only have fifty foot hose, will this be ok? Heck this might not be how to even do it but this is why I ask. Thank you much. I need to learn to do these things.

Thanks Jason

Are you running soft water in the machine? This should cut down how often you need to descale.

Also, is your idle as high as it used to be when you pull out the throttle?

You can have someone who does small engines check it and see if its running at 2850

Ran it yesterday for 2.5 hours, no water coming out of exaust. average temp was 200. at the end it reached 230 took a long time for it to get there. The idle seems to be the same as it always has.. I don't have a winterizer/descaler line. Can I hook up a 50' line to circulate the water/descaler through the machine?

Thanks guys
