Got a SBT 587 engine for my '95 Seadoo SP
Had to clean out the carb first for it to run right..
Took it out yesterday for an hour or 2, it ran great.
Had a potential buyer take it out today, after about 45 mins of piddling around in the bay, the temp sensor buzzer goes off.. I noticed that it goes away when I idle up a bit.
I took it back out today,and checked the supply, return, and drain lines.. they've all got flow, but the block still gets pretty hot (hotter than 99 degrees which is where the temp sensor goes off.)..
What else could it be?
I read that the "drain" line is supposed to have a calibrated fitting on the engine side, but when I took the hose off, it had a steady flow. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be calibrated to, but could this be a problem?
Both the exaust header and the 270° turn pipe (whatever it's called) are both cool to the touch...
