I apologize if this has been answered in another thread but I am new to the forum. I have 2000 Johnson 175 hp 2 stroke(carbed) on a 2000 Javelin Renegade 19 and I have been experiencing a problem with the engine warning lights inside of the tachometer going off when Im running down the lake. It does its normal self test when I turn the ignition into the on position and all 4 warning lights(no oil, hot, check engine, low oil) turn on with the alarm sounding for 1/2 a second and the lights turn off in sequence like normal but when I start the motor and start going down the lake the lights continue to do the same thing every 5-10 seconds. My tachometer is also not working(maybe related to warning light problem but not sure). I ran it down the lake the other day for about 15-20 minutes with the lights going off so im almost certain that if it was a VRO problem my motor would have blown already. About once or twice during the lake run I noticed that when I would try to accelerate from sitting still the boat would only go about 5 mph like it was in s.l.o.w. mode and when I turned it off and back on it would run normal. What could be the problem? Any advice will be much appreciated!
