[QUOTE="trackerpro91, post: 499479, member: 33413"] Don't know. But I can definitely state that the alarm only goes off when I push the throttle forward. It does its beeping. I pull back on the throttle, and the beeping stops (the beep pattern is the overheat alarm for this motor). I can tool around forever at low speed. I read where, in this situation, it may be a head gasket issue - the faster/more load burden on the engine, the more the exhaust gases displace the water in the cooling system, leading to the alarm at higher speeds.
