Hey all,
My mid 90s DT55 has a cooling problem I need some advice on.
When cold and on ear muffs I get a reasonable flow of water from the pilot (pee) hole, not exactly a torrent, but a decent flow. But as the motor warms up further the flow slows to a dribble, then finally seems to cease altogether. Water continues to come out of the mid level discharge hole, and when running if I put my hand in it seems warm but not hot. I've just replaced the impeller so I can rule that out. What could be causing this? And should I stop running the motor until I have discovered what is wrong?
I'm guessing I've got a clog in the system somewhere but I'm new to outboards and don't know where to start.
Not sure if it's related, but I get a beep on engine start, and then another beep a few seconds after start. Not sure what this means, can anyone shed some light on this? I've only recently bought the motor so don't know what any of this means...
Thanks for your help!
Jason
