The alarm goes off almost immediately after cranking it and won't shut off. The ski belongs to a friend and when they dropped it off they said it had been running hot so they pulled it into the ramp with another ski. I was at the lake with them earlier in the day and the buzzer was going nuts but the engine and pipes were cool so I didsconnected it thinking it was broke, but later in the day they said it started running sluggish and then would hardly run. I started investigating the water lines and found one line from the top of the exhaust that runs to the rear of the ski and exits through the exhaust was clogged as well as six inches of the tubing with sand. I tried telling them not to start the skis near shore but as you can see, kids will be kids. I cleaned the line and the fittings blowing air through them and they flow freely now. I tried cranking the ski this evening and it won't run, turns over, and will fire and crank if throttle is wide open but shuts right back down and the buzzer goes off, and it only bogs and never gets a good strong rev up before stalling. Any ideas on where to start looking and what to start looking for? I did pull the carbs down and everything looked good but more worried on the buzzer issue to avoid burning up a motor. There is a rust spot starting on the top of the exhaust also but doesn't leak any water. Oh, and this is a premix ski and I noticed the oil tank was empty, I am just hoping theres enough oil in the case and they didnt hurt something. Help me guys, this isn't mine and just trying to help some friends save some money buy fixing their skis for them.

Re: 93 XP over heating
Oh, I also fixed the alarm by replacing the temp sensor with another one I had. Is there a way to check continuity on those things to confirm good or bad? I had heard that these sensors are prone to go bad over time creating false readings.Comment

Re: 93 XP over heating
