Re: Engine Overheat buzzer
::::::::UPDATE::::::::<br /><br />Just to let yall know what happened with my situation. I started at the fuel tank.<br /><br />1. Checked the pickup tube for blockage<br />2. Replaced the nipple off the fuel pickup, and added an anit-siphon valve.<br />3. Checked all hose for any collapse/pinch/rot and any thing smaller than 3/8" ID.<br />4. Added new primer bulb<br />5. Changed fuel filter<br />6. Replaced thermostats on both sides.<br />7. Added more gas, mixed at 50:1, and went for a test drive.<br /><br />No buzzers going off, ran great, and had a fantastic 'outboard trouble-free' weekend on the boat with the new girlfriend. Thanks everyone for all your help!<br /><br />PS: My best guess of what caused the problem, would be a bad primer bulb.
