long shot, but any chance you got a bad fuel pump? just went through this on one of my outboards that overheated. replaced the thermostat with oem. continued to overheat. tore down the powerhead looking for a blockage. nada. yup - bad thermostat. 18 hours to find the $17 part was bad right out of the box.
