I have a 1994/5? 70hp Evinrude motor a E70TLEOR. When I turn the key it tells me the motor is overheating yet it hasn’t been running. The motor is peeing and seems to be running fine yet it is in limp mode the one time we have taken it out. We are currently going to change the water pump in case that is the culprit. But just for giggles I started it for a sec without the lower unit on to see is the alarm would still sound and it was still sounding. Any information will help.
We have tested the temperature switch. The kind we have has two different modes the QuickStart mode seems to be working yet the alarm for over heating didn’t seem to be. This is the first boat motor I have worked on and don’t know how the limp mode is engaging. Can it just be that temp switch? Or any ideas?
