Engine heating problems


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I own 2014 lsv. This summer when I launch from the boat ramp and start the engine, it heats up to 200 degrees within 5 minutes. I turn the engine off, let it cool back down to 150, start again and it stays at 160 the rest of the day. I will even turn engine off and chill for 30 mins on the lake later on, then turn back on and no issues. Only over heats right when I launch. This has happened the past 3 times. Does anyone have ideas of what is going on?

first prime can be more difficult to achieve than subsequent starts.

at first launch run the engine rpm up to 1200-1500 rpm for 3 to 5 seconds to insure that the pump primes.
