So went out last evening and about 100 yards on plane get errors on the engine display Port Engine Over Temp Alarm >>> Error Level 1 >>> Engine Reduction in Power. Temp was cool 175 hadn’t even hit operating temps yet. Tried a few times including turn off and turn on and then complete shut down including all batteries but kept giving the same message. Always the port engine.
This morning I brought the Doctor down and it said no errors were logged. Hmmmm….
So fired it up and went out and it did the same series of errors at about 160-170 degrees. When it’s erroring(screaming in my ear) if I back off the throttle (1000 rpm(ish)) the power reduction goes away and I can ramp up to full(er) power and it goes off again. Then heading back to the dock it does it again but time when I got to full power(by full power I mean 4200rpm my cruise) and it was fine all the way back to the dock- no errors.
The engine is never showing over 178 degrees and the alarm goes away when I throttle back but I am never running over 4200 and usually starts about 3800ish rpm.
The pee spout is mostly blocked I noticed but clearly it is staying cool so I need to take a longer clean out (the first 2” is clear). Wondering if it is sensing water for the overheat alarm from the pee(coolant) which maybe not flowing enough but reading temp from the oil or something?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
