We have 92 200HP Mercury XRI that we are having problems with. We put it on the water yesterday for the first time since we have owned it. The motor starts just fine but does not tach up like it should. At full throttle it was only running about half the max speed. We thought that maybe it just needed to be run as it has sat up for almost a year while we made repairs to it. When we decided to bring it back in we were sitting at the shore with it idling when the alarm went off with continuous steady beeps. We have replaced the plugs, the computer, checked the compression, both oil tanks are full and the motor is getting oil. Fuel is also pumping fine into the motor. So now here are my questions:
1.) Are all motor alarm codes the same? (ie continuous beep means no oil)
2.) Could the float on the oil tank under the cover be bad or have bad connection?
3.) What are some other possible troubleshooting things we could do?
Thank you in advance for any and all responses.
