[QUOTE="H-Ranch, post: 6079877, member: 51766"] I'm going with odds on the heat exchanger by the photo and the age. I would guess that the performance has been slowly degrading over the years and it is finally plugged to the point that it can't flow enough. The pump may be hot just from deadheading against the blockage. The higher fill level, steam, and cool pipes seem to indicate the temperature reading is correct at the OWB, but it's a good practice to check the simple stuff first anyway. [/QUOTE]
