Hi Gang,
Its the apprentice again! Hope all is well with all you forum goers. My motors have been doing quite well since my last challenges. However, I have encountered another problem. I know coming here will help me so here goes:
One of my 50's overheating buzzer started coming on. So I ran through the process of elimination. Had the motor flushed with lime away, motor pees really good except when you accelerate the engine. So I checked the empeller and all is fine and still the same problem. When I get up to about 3100 rpms the warning buzzer comes on and when I return below 3100 rpms the buzzer goes off. During this I notice the water coming out of the pee hole warms up and cools down.I also notice that the water coming out of the pee hole does not increase as the motor accelerates. The stream stays the same.
I replace the entire leg component and the problem went away. Luckily I have spare legs to do this. So obviously the problem lies in the leg. Can the pump or other component in the leg go bad? I would like to repair it if possible. Any words of advice???
Thanks
