I have a 1987 Evinrude 60HP (E60TLCUC) which I have just rebuilt the powerhead. The reason for this was that I had scoring and melted rings on pistons 2 and 3. I believe this was due to a blocked jets on the corresponding carbs. I had the cylinders bored oversized 0.03" and have put the powerhead back together. I have cleaned the carbs and checked the timing using Joe Reeves WOT method.
I started the motor in a bucket yesterday and I am getting a warning horn (continuous) after a minute or 2 of the motor running a idle. Since it is coming on after minute or two I suspect this is an overheating warning. Water is coming out of the tell tail strong (water pump is brand new).
I think I am going to take out the thermostat verify that it is working correctly. What should I do apart from this?
