These may or may not be related but problem one:
Overheating at a stand still idle. As long as im moving it is fine but if im at a stand still the alarm will sound in a matter of minutes. Ive replaced the impeller,changed engine and lower unit oil.
Second problem. I belive the carbs are heat soaking. The engine will start fine cold with no issues. If you run awhile cut it off for say 20-30minutes its a ***** to restart,then it when it finnally hits it misses and runs rough for bit then clears up and runs fine.
Anyone got some ideas?
