2002 Honda 90 HP overheating???

[timwc1953]

I have a 2002 Honda 90 HP 4 stroke which has been running fine all summer up until today, when the alarm sounded and motor idled back down on it's own. Am at the lake today and do not have the owners manual with me, but after some checking found that the motor was not "peeing" water as it should. Was not far from dock and was able to idle back and shut down. Would this be a bad water pump, impeller or what? It was "peeing" as it normally does when we started it this morninig. Also there is a red light near the ignition switch that is on which probalbly means overheating. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tim C.

That is certainly an overheat light and if you hav'nt serviced that waterpump in all this time you are well overdue.

Change your inpellar if the prob still excist change thermastat if prob still excists its the tubes running threw the head or a clogged water intake or hose. When replacing inpeller shoot high compressed air threw the tube to make sure its not clogged.
