Hello, My motor runs great, but if I push it past 4200 rpm's for more than 5 minutes, the warning buzzer comes on and powers down. I then wait about 10 minutes and am able to restart with no buzzer. My Seloc Manual says that it is either an overheating or an oil related issue. The water coming out of the telltale isn't hot when this happens, but I did notice that the mid section was pretty hot. I also noticed that I don't seem to be using as much oil as I normally do. I have recently (last 3 weeks)went through about 65-70 gallons of gas, but have only seen the oil in my remote tank go down by about a third. AS I'm writing this I realize it sounds like an oil starvation problem, any suggestions? Thanks.

do you have the yamaha tach? if so what visual indicator are you getting. if you catch it as soon as the alarm goes off and look and see if the engine oil tank is low. also use a temp stick or gun to test the head temps. when was the last cooling system service? good luck and keep posting you also described a classic remote oil filter restriction. when was the last remote oil tank filter service?

Thanks Rodbolt. No I don't have a yamaha tach, couldn't afford a new one, relaced with a teleflex. Water pump and impeller wre replaced 3 months ago. I haven't had a oil filter service, but I will check that and let you know. Thanks again.
