Hi all,
I just want to say that it's really nice to have a place like this to come to share questions and answers w/others who have had similar poroblems like the ones I have been having.
So far as I understand it, I've come to believe I have a '96 DT 150 BASS engine on my Bass Boat and like many others here I have very similar problems w/a continuing Gremlin that throw me random over heat issue alarms w/the Temp sensor and Rev Limit lit up w/the buzzer Tones.
So far I have done as several here have suggested in other threads and my problem seems to be one of those that will require a little more digging on my part and hopefully a little help from all you great people here.
The following is a list of all the things I have tried todate.
1) New Water Pump.
2) Cleaned and checked T-Stats
3) Trimmed the Starbrt side of my intake just above the Temp Sensor on that side of the motor to prevent it from pushing on the wires to that sensor.
4) Just recently adjusted the Idle so that it idles at about 800+/-50. This was done after the water pump install and fabrication to the inner side of the intake channel under the Cowling.
5) Purchased a 15 PSI Suzi Meter to install when I get more time to get back to completing the planned upgrades.
Things I think I should look into would be as follows.
1) Check the Oil flow and make sure the filter is clean and the oil out put is in speck.
2) Make sure the TP Sensor is good and working w/in speck.
3) Check that all my linkage rods are of propler length
4) Ensure the Timing and Idle is w/in speck relating to each other.
5) Check the Low and High PSI Fuel filters are clean and free from any moisture or sediments.
6) Replace both T-Stats just to be safe even though the BASS T-Stats are kind of pricey.
7) Attempt to find a cheap fiber optic scope to prode into the water jacket channels to see if any blockages exist.
Things I have not been able to figure out.
1) Does my engine have a water PSI relieve Valve.
2) Does it have Water Flow Sensors on the middle Cylinders # 2 & 3 in addition to the Temp Sensors on the top two Cylinders.
I purchased the Service Manual from Browns Point item number 99500-87D08-01E and so far I can not seem to find any specific details about the '96 DT 150S BASS.
I am by no means rich otherwise I would take it to a shop. However I am prety good w/my hands W/I have to be and am quite capable of learing things while doing my own repairs providing I take my time and don't have any one misplacing any of my parts for me when I'm not around :/
I have so many questions and don't know where to start asking because I really would like to know what would be the best plan of attatck to try to resolve this Pesky Temp Alarm issue when considering all I have done so far and what I'm thinking of doing?
See you on the water,
Tony
Oh yeah just incase any one would like to see her, I'll include an image of my pride and joy on the water w/a friend over this summer
