150 overheat 1991 TXRT

[guyo]

i PREFORMED ALL ROUTINE MATNIENCE ON THIS ENGINE INCLUDING PRESSURE VALVE,THERMASTATES,AND WATER PUMP. I STARTED THE MOTOR AFTER A LONG WINTER AND IT OVER HEATED SOUNDING THE ALARM. I LET THE ENGINE SIT FOR AN HALF AN HOUR AND TRIED AGAIN IT RAN PERFACTLY FOR 45 MINUTES. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PREVIOUS OVER HEAT? dOES ANYONE HAVE ANY VIEWS ON THIS SITUATION?

May have been a block in the intake, watch the temp for the next use and see.

AFTER RUNNING THE ENGINE FOR A SHORT TIME THE OVERHEAT ALARM WAS SOUNDING AND ALSO AN OVERHEAT LIGHT CAME ON AT THE DASHBOARD
