Abstract

An audible warning arrangement for a supercharged internal combustion engine, such as a turbocharged engine on a boat or truck. A thermostat valve senses the temperature in the air intake manifold of the engine. When this temperature becomes excessively high, the valve opens and passes pressurized air from the manifold into an air horn, which produces an audible warning signal.
