2002 RX-DI Overheating

[Phillip Knapp]

120 hours, top speed 62mph. Runs fine and water runs thru outlet but then it will activate overheat sensor and water stops pissing. Will flush system runs fine for ten minutes and then overheat. No weeds in water and becoming more chronic. Any ideas?

Any water spraying into the hull? Might have a cooling line leaking or head gasket.

No water in hull, no leaks or head gasket leaks. Could there be a build up with the water intakes. The jetski is out of the water on lift when not in use. In the past, The BUDS system did indicate an overheat warning but nothing was found to be wrong. When overheating, she starts to smoke slightly. I will shut her down do a flush and then she will run fine for 10-15 min and start all over again. This is a chronic problem now. Thx.
