yes, and the only way to reset it is to turn-off the motor and restart it.Originally posted by R.Johnson:<br /> When you say safe mode, do you mean SLOW?
I replaced that as well and that wasn't it, I was thinking about the heat sensor. Is there a way to test it?Originally posted by Johnnie:<br /> I read one of the articles here on the site, and some guy was talking about a faulty thermostat. Possibly what your problem is- don't know for sure. Let me know if it solves your problem because I may have the same.<br /><br />Johnnie<br />KPIO13@DWAVE.NET
I dsconnected that wire and it still had the problem, but I didn't disconnect the VRO wire. I can try that tonight. The brown wire by the releys on the linkage side when disconnected stoped the motor from going in slow but I don't know where or what that wire is coming from.Originally posted by R.Johnson:<br /> At the top of the cylinder heat, there is a heat sensor with a tan wire. Disconnect this wire, and see what happens. At the same time disconnect the sender from the VRO.
When I pulled the plugs they had a fare amount of oil on them and the motor apears to be geting oil by the amount of blue smoke in the exhaust.Originally posted by Stillfishing:<br /> VRO? <br /><br />Have you checked the reliability of your oil delivery?
The oil is full to about 1 1/2 inch from the top of the oil tank. most of the time its one beep but I have had it as long as 2 sec.Originally posted by Cricket Too:<br /> teampbc.....When you say you get one beep, do you mean one short beep or one continuous beep or horn? One short beep is just low oil in the resevoir, if you were low enough it would also sound the oil restriction tone and probably throw you into SLOW. I know it's pretty simple but have you checked the oil level in the resevoir?
Now I cant get the motor to repeat the problem unless its in the water under load.<br />Can this mean anything? Also the problem seems to be intermittent when off the water. When I disconnect the temp sensor on the cylinder head do I also have to disconnect the wire from the VRO pump? Because I only disconnected the temp sensor and that didnt stop the problem.Originally posted by R.Johnson:<br /> Disconnect the engine harness 6 wire connector, there is a tan wire going to this. Disconnect the tan wire to the temp. sender on the head. There is a blocking diode between these two points. With an ohm meter, ckeck the continuity between these two points. There should be continuity in one direction, but not the other. The diode is located 10 1/2 inchs' from the 6 wire connector. Here is what the OMC manual say's about this. If the engine goes into SLOW repeatedly, or into Slow without a warning signal, check the diode. I think that discribes your problem. If it were a power pak problem, it would not go away by disconnecting the sensors. Let us know what you find.
yes, QL78YC champion.Originally posted by Blueclaw:<br /> did you recently replace the spark plugs? did you use "Q" style suppressor plugs and not just resistor type plugs? regular resistor plugs can trigger the slow mode also.
I tested the diode and I got continuity in one direction but not in the other, so thats OK.Originally posted by R.Johnson:<br /> Did you try testing the diode. The problem would show up more on the water, as the engine must hit 2500 RPM to go into SLOW.
