Re: Motor Shuts Off At Running Temp
Need Help Please.
Let me go back a little. I bought the boat and drove down the coast about 3 hours. Motor ran great until I got about 1/2 mile from marina. I coolant hose blew off. I shut port motor off as soon as it happened. It would not start back up after letting it cool for about 1 hour. So we brought boat in one starboard motor. The next day it fired right up. So we went went out and just run up the intercoastal at about 3000rpm. After about 2 miles the motor shut down. Wouldn't start back up. Yesterday afternoon I went to look over all connections, wiring, fuel lines, and more. I went to start it and it fired right up again. I did smell a little fuel before it shut off while running it at dock with boot.
(read first post) I tried to restart and the starter will not stay engaged. Its like the solenoid gets hot. I took starter off and had it tested
(need new one, sounds like I have sand in the armature)
But back to running problem. Could my impeller in outdrive be bad, and if so how hard to change? Or is it something I listed in first post. The motor is a 1985 470 165 w/4brl if this will help.
I know I sort of dbl posted but I really need help with this so I thought with more info I could get answers..
Thank You
