Just installed a rebuilt engine in my 95 seadoo gtx. It runs great. But I want to make sure the temp sensor works so I know if it the engine ever overheats.
I replaced the buzzer already and it works when I ground the sensor wire to the grounding post with the engine running so I know the wiring and buzzer are good. But I am worried about the sensor as I have read they often go bad.
I put the bottom of the sensor in water and heated it to boiling. I held on to it with visegrips . my multimeter showed 1 before during and after. I put one end on the tip and the other lead on the threads.
Because the reading never changed I assume it is bad. The tip of the sensor got wet, should that matter?
I don't want to waste $75 if I am doing the test wrong and the sensor actually is good.
All the posts talk about sensors that go off when there is no overheat. Anybody hear of a sensor that does not work when the engine is overheating?
