Background:
Not run for 2 months. Just installed new Water-fuel sep. Put on water yesterday for test run. Ran it various speeds to test out newly pitched prop. ran wide open for about half the time. About 5 miles of running the alarms started going off on the guage.
Alrm sounded and got the three arrows pointing at the temp, oil, and fuel...the whole thing lit up and the engine started to shut me down. I was able to bring it back to idle and run it at 2000 rpms. any time i tried to throttle back up, it would sound the alrms and light the guage back up again. I shut it down and waited about 10 minutes. I throttled up and was able to go wide open for about 50 yards before it alrmed again.
I idled at about 2300 rpms for about 15 minutes and tried to throttle back up. I ran for about a quarter of a mile and it alarmed again and shut me back down to idle.
I took it in on idle from there.
I received no owners manual with the boat so I'm trying to find out what this could be and how I, a nonmechanic, can remedy this?
Thanks
Matt
