The oil alarm on my 1989 40hp johnson o/b motor comes on at idle, is this normal? Just got this boat so we're trying to figure out what's right and what's not.

Re: 40 HP Johnson oil alarm

which alarm is it?
J/E Alarms

low oil alarm is a beep every 30 seconds. beep......................beep...................

no oil alarm is a beep every 1/2 second or so.beep,beep,beep

overheat and fuel restriction alarm is a constant beep.beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep


has the motor been sitting a good while? did you try priming the oil system?

personally i would disable the oil side on the VRO2 and premix.
