Tuxing compressor overheating issue

So my issue is it hits 65° C in under 2 mins I feel like everything is set up right but it's not working? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Literally I can only run it for 1 minute shut it off wait 5 and run it again. I do have the water hose running in to the bottom and coming out the top. I have heard of the ice trick as well, just seems like I should be able to run it for a bit longer the a minute. Maybe @Centercut has some advice?

Also check if the calibration of the thermometer is correct. Mine is indicating about 4 ~ 5 deg C above the correct value.

Since it is connected correctly, do you have good water flow? It shouldn’t go up in temperature that fast. It seems like there is no cooling water going to the second stage head area. Without disassembling the heads and cylinders I’m not sure what else it could be. I know there are baffles that direct flow so it flows around both heads and doesn’t short circuit directly from the inlet to outlet and bypass most of the cooling cavities.

@airgunfans thank you I will check once it is back to room temp.
@centercut the flow looks good, it's not squirting out like a fire hose but it is a consistent flow. Once i shut off the compressor it goes back to a normally temp in like 2-5 mins

@centercut it keeps going up in temp. I used the royal purple compressor oil you recommend.

Is the water coming out the return, hot? I mean hot enough to burn your hand. If so ad a few more gallons to your bucket. What is the flow like? there should be a nice even flow coming out. If both these things are good, then perhaps the thermometer is dodgy or not inserted fully. If your water is not getting really hot, adding ice will not help.

If it was me, I would just run it until I seen smoke or smelled something bad. You may find it will get to 70 or eighty and stabilize. The only other thing that you can do is pull it apart and make sure nothing is blocking any of the water-ways. There, isn't much inside there, so I doubt that you will find anything wrong.

I think I might just return it and make sure walmart sends me the actual yong heng compressor.

I would return it. You got the wrong compressor and its not properly working... not sure what is making you continue to trouble shoot?

Assuming its like my old one, this is the temp sensor. Pull it out and out it in super hot tap water. See if it reads 45-50 degrees C (125 degrees F, approx temp a home HW heater puts out). This is a simple test to see if the guage is working. If its reading 65 then your hot water heater is WAY too high or the guage is bad.

I agree with the post above mine. Pull that temp sensor from that hole is the back of temp spencer & check it in a glass of water you already know the temp.
Also those pumps have a adjustment on the side & it my be on low. My compressor has always showed hotter than it is. I checked mine with a hand held
light sensor. I do not like those pumps & replaced mine with one from amazon. Use ice no matter. I freeze 2 L soda bottles fill with water & use that in
my water bucket. Check this pump It pumps so much more & can be adjusted down to what ever works best. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013JPL3Q2

This Black color compressor DOES NOT belongs Tuxing. It is other brand (Maybe clone compressor from others)
As my experience, more water with icy is better.

I had the same problem and the rod went bad the first time I used it. I bought a self lubricating bearing. the shop I took it to and have it bored hasn't got it done yet. I bought extra bearings if you need one. 20mm id 23mm od.

When I got my compressor it had to run a bit to break in before the temperature stayed "low" and stabilized.
When I first got it I ran it until it hit 60C and let it cool down-- note the amount of time it took to reach that temperature drastically dropped:
1:30
3:34
6:41
8:43
After that it went over 20 min without hitting 60C and stayed low. I changed oil that first time at 30 min.
Stayed around 55/56C with a 10lb bag of ice in it.
After break in it stays less than 55C now.
I now use 3 of these Cooler Shock packs with great results after another forum member (not sure if here or GTA) recommended them:

Prior to that I used frozen water bottles and before that bags of ice.

Check the oil dipper on the end of the rod, it is a common problem with these compressors it breaks and then they run hot until they sieze. If you need a new rod I have an extra one pm me and I will tell you what to do and if it is the rod I will get it to you.
