It could be that the engine got hot because it lacks oil. Check all the oil lines to figure where the leak is from.It is also possible that the engine has a cooling line problem too as a second problem. I would check the oil problem first and then figure out the over heat problem if it isn't related.

That's fine...you still need to look to see where it is coming from. Check the oil lines and the seam on the oil injector tank. The grommet on the bottom that the lines attach to also can leak. Give it a good look over.

You need to look over all the lines, to verify that your over heat problem isn't a low oil problem. This could lead to a seizure problem.

Reference this thread for the two oil hoses that probably need replacing:http://seadooforum.com/showthread.php?t=437
found oil leak was the big line the went to the back of the block it melted on th exhuast. any ideas on the cooling problem i rebuilt the top end new pistons and rings was running the ski at about 10% power for 20 min and came in and parked it and felt real hot than went to start it and the temp alarm went off please help
Ok one problem down. You need to add your model and year to your avatar so it is easy to find...to help with a problem. Look at mine as a reference.
Check all the cooling lines. Remove the elbows with out mixing them up as they have a specific location to aid in cooling. remove any corrosion and reassemble them. Be sure the "Tell Tail" is squirting also. Let me know how you make out.

It might have been a fluke...check the fittings and lines for a blockage somewhere. If it does it again see if you can touch the cylinder head and the exhaust with your hand. It should be warm, but not hot enough to burn you, use caution. That's the best I can tell you to look for.

Take it to Auto Zone and ask for Clear line that size for "oil use". I forget the exact size diameter, so bring a sample and measure the length.

you can take apart, clean, inspect to see if cracked/ripped. BUT dont adjust the red dot..factory set...
If you go to page #103, in the manual...I believe, you will find all the information on the Water Flow Regulator Valve. There is a complete breakdown and a idea of how it comes apart. The bellows is inder the Piston of the valve. THe valve is unscrewed from the unit and the bellows follows it. Check the bellows for any damage and also the brass stem.
