Engine overheating may be the result
of clogged water intake screens, or
there may be a problem with the
cooling system thermostat or water
pump.
If the engine is stopped after running
at full throttle, and then restarted
soon afterward, that could activate
the engine protection system
momentarily.
COOLING SYSTEM INDICATOR
If overheating activates the engine
protection system, idle the engine in
neutral, and check the cooling system
indicator.
