I have a problem with my Suzuki... Runs great, except that it recently just started to act up... there is an alarm that is going off only at higher rpms. cant tell which alarm that it is? I do have a multi function suzuki guage, but i dont know if its working correctly or not. when i run the motor above 3500 rpm's or so, the alarm sounds and the rev limiter initiates until i bring it back down to slow speed. the temperature light on the guage sometimes flashes and sometimes stays on. sometimes it doesnt come on at all. I can be running the motor for hours at low speed with no problems, although the light on the guage does come on or stay on sometimes??? when the alarm does sound at higher speed, and i stop the boat, the motor does not seem to be too hot. its hot, but i can hold my hand on the block for 5 seconds or more without any problems. The oil reservoir is full, its peeing water excellent, and i dont believe its running over the normal operating range.... could this be a faulty sensor, or should i take it more serioulsy? how would i go about checking this out to eliminate all possiblities? I do have a manual, but sometimes it makes more sense to me in lamens terms. Thanks in advance for any advice, i really do appreciate it. thanks, Matt
