Engine temp light on with throttle

So I have burped the system to make sure there isnt any air in it and the sled runs great, but as soon as I hit the throttle I get a coolant light. Once I let off the gas and the sled slows to a stop the light fades off. I'm stumped on whats going on. The sled is running well, and I know its not getting to hot because I figured I would have burnt up the motor if it really was that hot.

Any suggestions what might be going on? Sled is an 02 AC with the 800 carb.

Thanx,

Mike

Well I was almost positive the system was full and burped, however im still getting a coolant light. The sled seems to run well, maybe a little hot, but still will burp coolant out the tank. Im suspecting a head gasket is starting to fail and pressurizing the system causing coolant to blow out. I ordered some new gaskets and should have them tomorrow. I really hope this is the issue.

Side note: Also ordered some RSI grip warmers, as mine are terrible and the left isnt working at all.
