When the temperature switch is activated and shows that the engine is hot is this just a visual warning or does it cause the engine to go in "safe mode" of operation and reduce fuel or spark? My engine overheated and I had no choice but to continue to run it until I got to an area where I could be seen and towed in. The next day when I went to restart it still shows "hot". Compression test shows all six cylinders at 92-94psi. Replaced starboard temp switch (port side switch is no longer available) still showing "hot" light. Motor is now hard to start and I have to continually hold choke for it to start and runs momentarily then turns off, seems to have fuel delivery issue now. Any thoughts on what overheating may have done to the fuel system?
