My port engine (225hp carb) fuel/temp guage flashes intermittently fuel light then temp light when I turn theke switch. I have been told that this indicates a shorted temp sensor, but have replaced and the same occurs.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Re: Flashing oil/temp light

I got to the bottom of things, while rebuilding the top carb I inadvertantly spun the TPS (Throttle Position sensor) and this caused the alternate flashing of the temp and oil lights. Once I turned the sensor back 180 degrees the timing corrected and the flashing/warning ceased.
