580cc over heating

[D.rock]

Hi guys and girls
I just bought this 1996 sea doo XP 580
And it has not been started in 3 years.
Got it running today and put it in the lake and it started over heating.
But it runs fine in the drive way

There is no such thing as a 1996 XP 580.

What is it doing that makes you think it’s overheating?

 

[D.rock]

The engine is extremely hot and I guess its the overheating alarm is sounding

Check all the water lines and fittings for blockage, I found a couple blocked on one I'm redoing that sat for less than 2 years.,

Put the hose on and did that. But the batterie died so I hope to try her out tonight

Cooling system is running in reverse on the hose, check the pressure building area at the jet pump. You may have a wear ring out of spec (can't build pressure) or the path in that area is clogged. I found a path in the hull plate clogged when I removed the jet pump.

Ok so found out it's a 1992 587 XP. The guy did not know his sea doo

Remove and blow out every hose and as said before check the impeller and wear ring for damage.

Okay so on the hose I ran it for about 4 minutes and Water started coming out of the little hole just underneath the tie down hook.
So I think everything is starting to work next step is to water tested
