    Alarm going off

    1992 150 Johnson Faststrike J150GLENC

    I have a continuous solid alarm.

    Have good, normal water Pressure. Replaced H2O Impeller about 2-3 months ago. Ran great since then. So I don't think its getting hot.

    Didn't cut back while I was running...It will still run full RPM's.

    Don't think there's a fuel restriction

    WTH? Is it possible that the float in the oil tank stuck when I was running in the rough 4th of July traffic?

    Can I check the cylinder head temps with laser thermometer? If so what is the temp supposed to be?

    Thats how we check the head temps, should be 140-160*, Before you start disconnect all the alarm circuts, port/starboard tan wires, vacuum switch tan wire, low oil connector and VRO connector now with the motor running on the Muffs, start connecting them back one at a time you'll find the offender.

    My 96 did that, and it turned out to be a fuel restriction, although I have the system check gauge. I had some trash in the fuel filter. Not sure where it came from either.

    Seems to me if you have SLOW, and it gets hot, its going to shut it down, same with oil. I would be looking at fuel first if it was me.

    I was just a little hacked off at it yesterday... I know can find the problem with a little effort. Thanks for the start guys. Probably get into to it Sunday if I can't sneak away from work early today.
