"Last weekend, my boat started
"Last weekend, my boat started to overheat while out on the lake. In order to avoid engine damage, I shut her off and was towed back to shore. The overheating was due to a disintegrated impeller. I replaced the impeller with a new one, and thought all my problems were gone. I was wrong, I tried starting up the motor and she turns over just as strong as she always has in the past the problem is she will not fire up. The only time she fires up and runs for a short time is when I pour some fuel down the carburetor. (If you ever done this with a car, you know what I mean.)It is here where I am confused, I shut her down while onthe lake when I noiced the temp guage showed 200 degrees. I know that the engine is not damaged because she runs with fuel pour down the carb. Is there some kind of safey switch or circuit breaker that is activated when the engine gets too hot? Where and how do I reset this? I would really appreciate any suggestions or advice that would get us back in the water. Thank you!!
Sincerely, Nelly"
