First I want to say thanks to all you guys for all your help. You have all been a wealth of knowledge.<br /> Now...I know this has been covered b4 and I have read past post but none seem to be eactly like my prob.<br /> So This weekend while out fishing the alarm on my '96 50 hp Johnson ob, sounded after only about 15 minutes of running with about 3/4 throttle.<br /> now it was not a single beep every 40 sec (like low oil). and it did not vary with the RPMs (like not getting oil). and it did not automatically lower my RPMs and engage "S.L.O.W." (like overheating)<br /> if I continued to run at the same Rpms the alarm would beep at shorter intervals and eventually beep contantly. However if I immedatly back down to about 60% throttle the alam would stop sounding alltogeter.<br /> Yes it was peeing heavily and no, I did not notice any differance in preformace other than the alarm.<br /> Could if be a restriction in fuel supply? if so were do I start? all my gas passed threw a 6 month old RAYCOR water seperator first...oh ya yes my gas can was vented.<br /> Any and all advice is greatly apprecaited. Thanx in advance and PLEASE help.

Hi FishinAK....welcome!<br /><br />Did you squeeze the oil primer bulb with the alarm going? This could tell you if the alarm is real or if you have a possible problem with the horn. Do you have System Check or just the alarm horn? It "sounds" like the alarm is trying to tell you that the oil flow is restricted.

Ya the oil bulb is hard.<br /> I think I have the system check. When I first turn the key I always get the "system ok" beep.
