Hello<br />I have the exact same engine. What you need to do is remove the black plastic inlet scren from your lower end, there is just one screw that goes through the middle of it. seat the ear muffs as good as you can, turn hose on full open and wait about 2 or 3 mins before starting the engine.<br />I have been doing this during winterizing and when I run it in the yard in the spring and only ever hear an alrm one time and that is when I had a thermostat that stuck.<br />If you haven't taken your thermostats out, check them.<br />2 10mm bolts right on top of your head. They are about 20 dollars each to replace, check for corrosion in the thermometer wells too.<br />I was getting pitting in the port side while the starboard side looks like brand new. I cleaned it extremely well and did some dental work with marine-tek.<br />I have 900 hours on mine and it purrrrrrrrrrs.
