Thread: Yamaha outboard question...

I have a 250 hp Yamaha HPDI series 2. Last couple of times I used it, the chime would go off and it would kick into safe mode (won’t rev up). It would do this just for a minute or less, then run fine the rest of the day both times. First time was when I was goosing it up loading on the trailer. Second two time were when I first got there. Again, ran fine the whole day after that. Oil tank is full, and water psi is good. Anyone ever experienced this? Thanks.
