Hey All,
Rehabbing my dad's old DT200, and things are looking pretty good. However there is an intermittent alarm / visual indicator on one of the gauges. It was raining so I didn't get a picture, and couldn't find one on the internet.
The indicator is small, and round .. it has three green bars in the center to show the oil level, there is a rev limit light and there are two lights labeled "Water - R" and "Water - L" . I have two questions:
1. What do these indicators mean exactly? Water temperature, water flow, water in the fuel? There is an audible alarm that sounds when the water lights illuminate red.
2. These were alarmed while on muffs in the driveway. I have read that these motors may not like being on muffs. Engine block was warm, but not hot. Should I get it in the water and run again before I do something like replace the impeller? The pee stream was strong while motor was running.
Thanks!
