Yamaha F80 temp alarm

[boscoe99]

reason why I think its a switch is in the tune up spec guide.

So, are you saying that what Yamaha says is always true? They are the ones that refer to the gizmo in the main (engine mounted) oil tank as being a sensor or an oil level gauge assembly. You know, the one with the three switches in it that sense the level of oil at different points within the tank.

But I need help with other matters. How do I correctly set my TPP (Throttle Position Potentiometer)? And, I also need help with my later model motor figuring out a trim rheostat problem and with my older Yam figuring out a Trim potentiometer problem.

Can you help me?

yep . goes back to the jinglish and why some motors can run a fever.

typically in the electronics world, a sensor is a device to give a varying feed back based on a changing condition,pressure,temp,altitude etc etc.

however a switch is either ON or its OFF. no in
betweenies.

in the electronics world this is called a discrete input.

a sensor typically gives an analog input, a switch is closer to a binary,octal or hexadecimal.
its on or its off.
