Could be but when Yanmars need a HG they're usually decades and thousands of hours old. I'd check the hoses first. Then I'd see if the engine-oil is going down, and maybe take a coolant sample to an engine shop that has the Snap-on sniffer that detects hydrocarbons.

Put a new cap on it for starters. Also check the sealing surface where the cap screws on. If a cap is bad it is going to blow pressure out under it.

i forgot to mention that after about six minutes it starts to run hot. the light on the dash comes on anyway, it does not have a gauge.

A bad cap will make it run hot.

sorry i have not got back. we found out there is a certain way to fill the block and radiator. we did that and everything is working like it is supposed to. amazing what rats and sitting in a barn will do to a machine. but, is was a freebie. all it has cost us was a battery and some wire. does anyone know a place for rear tires, got one bad one.
