I replaced the points, set them @ .0012 and after a short time of trying to get it started, it started!! I had the muffs on it and let it run for about 3 minutes and the overheat bulb lights up on the dash so I shut it down! I watched someone replace the impeller about 10 months ago. Any suggestions from anybody would be much appreciated(other than the obvious, another impeller change)!!<br /><br />pjw

Thermostat stuck or cooling system otherwise blocked off.<br /><br />Cooling system on this motor is a bit different than on other outboards... suggest that you obtain a manual if you already have one.<br /><br />Good luck,<br />Mike.
