1999 225 Ocean Pro, very well maintained on an 1986 GW 20' Overnighter.

My check engine alarm has gone off a few times recently, mostly at WOT. Once was not WOT. I found that my fuel line had a kink in it from getting hung up on a zip-tie while turning a hard raduis. I didn't notice it for a while, so the kink is kind of "set" in the line now. Im going to replace it this week. The line was pinched almost completely closed. Will this set off the alarm? I think I would have noticed the engine missing first. I can't find any other problems. When the alarm goes off, I pull back to neutral... the buzzer goes off, then about 15 seconds later, the light goes off. I can jump back up to plane & run at 4500 rpm with no problems.

Thanks

You bet that pinched line will set off the "fuel restriction" alarm.

Thanks djohns.... I never heard of the fuel restriction alarm. I bought a fitting to fix the fuel hose yesterday & am going to work on it today.
