Hi got a problem and need some advice.
It a 1999 40 D electronic start with trim/tilt I've owned since new. For history I blew the head gasket last summer and had it replaced and everything ran fine and I winterized the boat. This year the motor did not pump water so I replaced the impeller. Ran it on the hose and everything was fine. Only thing after that was losing and replacing the carb drain plug gasket with a T'hotsu aluminum washer rather than teflon. ( don't alk ho its embarassing).
A dry run at the lake 2 weeks later. The boat idled rough but ok died a few time at idle. When putting in forward or reverse the alarm buzzer in the throttle control started up. I don't have temp pressure gages so not sure what is up. My manual is in a stroage locker somewhere so I can't look it up what it is.
Run me down the list of problems and I'll go through them one by one. Any ideas, battery is 3 yeas old and seems ok.
Thanks Rick
