Does it have a sealed coolant system (no radiator cap, coolant is fillled from the resevoir)? if so, you may not have enough coolant in the system. I had the same problem with mine, it would only take a gallon of coolant to start with but i would pinch off the return hose and close the cap. After about 10 minutes of running i could take the cap off and the level would drop. I continued this process until i got about 3.5 gallons in the system
