97 Yamaha v4 130 saltwater series.Can run up to 3500 rpm's all day long, go to wot and only audible warning buzzer sounds off.Let it idle for app.1 min. and alarm goes silent. The tach has a warning indicator for overheat and that does not come on. The trim is working/reading properly. Tested and replaced both thermo assy. switches and thermostats due to one being bad on each. Impellar was changed for normal service, heads were cleaned for coolant flow, carbs were cleaned/rebuilt, all timing and pick-up were set to specs, pilot screws were set to 7/8 +1/4,oil linkage to pump is set, gas lines at the carbs. were replaced,sending unit in the oil tank at the engine was pulled, cleaned, and verified with ohm meter for continuity at the specified levels. Both engine and remote tank are full of oil, there is no problem with proper pumping from remote to engine tank. Heads are warm to touch which is normal from years past. When this buzzer goes off I shut down power and popped cowl off, oil tank was full at 3mm above line mark on tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

You don't mention the poppet valve assy being serviced.

Hay what tack do ya have.
Try unplugging the tack out of the system thay can mess with the worning stuff. and thay can mess with the oil pump function.

Serviced water valve, no real debris in it, was not stuck-moved freely. Am going out now to check condition. Will unhook tach after a run if not fixed and will respond either way . Thanks.

OUTSTANDING!!

Ran out this morning and the buzzer did not come on for 10 min. It was coming on in about 1 min. at w.o.t. Went to the shop and picked up water valve/poppet assy. and replaced. All is fine, ran ,ran,and ran some more like a charm. The grommet was swelling up and binding the valve. GREAT INFO!! Thanks for the support!!

I've seen the same thing. They'll swell around the fins and look square-ish with the poppet removed.
