Ok so with the help of some good people on this forum, I got the year and model figured out and how to hook up 12v power.
Now for the real problem.
About 15- 20 years ago, hell I have lost track, My Dad pulled this motor off of his bass boat, because he thought that it had an oiling problem. He pulled it immediately so I do not think that it was damaged. The motor has sat since then and I have hauled it around every where I have moved. My dad has since passed and I do not remember what he told me was the reason he thought it was an oiling problem.
I took the spark plugs out and turned the motor and it turns freely by hand, by rotating the flywheel.
I made a set of battery cables and put some power to it to see if it would turn over from the key, and it does.
Here is the problem. As soon as the key is turned on, Key on only, a constant, rapid beeping is coming from the control. It is a continuously beeping and not a solid tone and does not stop.
From what I read this is an oil warning alarm. This may be why My Dad thought it had an oiling problem.
I just finished reading in another thread, about the magnet in the oil tank may fall off and cause an alarm. They said to test it by unplugging he wires coming from under the oil tank.
So I went out and turned the key on and the continuous beeping started. There are two white wires coming from the bottom of the oil tank, plugged to two blue wires.
I unplugged one wire and the beeping stopped. Plugged it back in and the beeping started again. I unplugged the second wire and the beeping stopped, plugged it back in and beeping started again.
So does this mean it is a problem with the sensor in the tank, or are there other things to check?
