2004 XP DI Warning buzzer question

[rgidlr]

Just recently purchased a 2004 XP DI in Mint condition with a cooling issue. Looks like the previous owner ran the unit up on some mud bar on the river and sucked up so much mud into the cooling system that the resonator and the sensor on the water box melted. I replaced the resonator, the water box sensor, the hose coming out of the water box and the one going into the resonator. Then disconnected the intake hose at the pump and flushed out the system. I also found that the waterbox regulating valve was slighly melted and full of mud. Cleaned this up and all the mud in the cooling lines. Ran the unit on the hose wih no issues. Then took it to the river and it idled with no issues. Throttle response was great and it got up on plane like I would expect. The only issue now is that once on plane the warning buzzer went off with one loud beep, and the red light on the cluster came on. I immediately came off plane and idled and the buzzer went off and it idled fine. Does this have to anything to do with the computer thinking that the issue still persists? If so do I have to go to a dealer to clear the codes or is there something else going on? Any input would be appreciate it. Thanks

It is possible the water flow regulator needs replacement. It regulates the flow of water as the engine runs. It might be restricting cooling water and the temp sensor triggered the beeper as the temp increased. If it damaged you might want to replace it.

you are talking about the one right on top of the water box. Black plastic with a spring and diaphram inside, right? If so I replaced it with a used one. I ended up using my old one and part of the used one to make one good unit. How do I check it? I guess I can always take it out. Very easy to do. Maybe there was still mud in the system and it went back to it. Thoughts?

I responded with a pm...but go run it and keep an eye on the "tell tail" for proper water flow.
