So I’m rigging up a new to me 50 hp triple Evinrude. Supposedly it had a new impeller etc. Purchased from a backyard mechanic so I can’t really say I can trust that but the alarm starts going off within a few minutes on muffs or in the lake.
Here’s the thing I don’t get; the telltale stream is very strong. I mean halfway to a garden hose strong.
The telltale water is not hot and the motor does not feel too warm. I have a cheap Amazon laser pointed heat gun and nowhere on the block read more than 151 degrees F on muffs.
Could this be an oil pressure alarm? VRO is disconnected, oil mixed 50:1.
It’s not a steady beep but a constant intermittent beep.
I revved it slightly (fast idle lever) to see if the alarm would clear but it did not. It also did not run well on fast idle either. Lots of smoke. (However, this is startup after fogged storage 2 years ago)
Thanks in advance.
