hello
i have a 2004 honda bf200 that is giving me some problems. ( 1 engine on my boat)
ok this is what it is doing , when idling it works fine and no problems at all . when i run the boat at half throttle it also works good with no issues
but when i start to give it more throttle like maybe over 4000rpm or 5000 after like a few minutes the engine light comes on and starts to beep, the green pressure lights stays on and the red overheat lights stays off. so i slow down and turn off and restart and everything is good again once i am at half throttle or stay below 4000 rpm. just so you know the water is spitting out fine
so we check the theromstats and sure enough they was both corroded very bad and was not even moving. so we replace both of them wit new ones thinking that would have solved the problem
but went back out and same problem again as described, at half or below 4000rpm no problems. but wen we give more power like over 4000rpm the engine lights comes on again and start to peep
now i am lost on what the problem could be , i dont have any honda dealer to really take a look at it . so i have my machanic that does work on marine engines checking it out , but he is not sure now what the problem could be
so any help would be great???
thanks
