Does anybody know what the eng chk alarm means???? It turns on after about 30 seconds after i start the engine with muffs. I havent takin it out yet to see if it will do the same in the water, but, i took it to the mechanic the other day and the alarm didnt sound when he hooked it up to his muffs.

Good Morning Tiger Shark, depending on the year model the "CHECK ENGINE" light indicates a fuel restriction. This can be a kinked fuel hose or a blockage somewhere in the fuel supply. The engine has a vacuum switch that will alert the operator to a restricition which can cause a lean fuel condition which can lead to detention causing engine damage. Check the fuel system carefully and make sure you are running 3/8 fuel hose. It is a bit starnge to be sounding on the flusher because the engine is not under any load, but do those checks and then take it for a hard run in the water and see what happens.

Hope this helps,

Huey.

Hi Tiger, no problems mate. I am glad we were able to help and your day was not ruined.

I hope you had a good day on the water and got onto some nice fish.

Cheers,

Huey.
