Install a new impeller. I bought a new Eliminator that had been sitting a while. It went in to gardian mode when it arrived here in Texas. I had a scanner and read the trouble codes. Dustin Whipple and Dana marine were kind enough to look at the codes and tell me to replace the impeller. The problem was solved. (The impeller will go bad from sitting that long)!

A former partner of mine left my Lambo outside in Miami for over 8 months. It had the the open weber setup and froze the engine completely. You couldn't even get it to turn manually.
