Continuous bip on Johnson 40 HP OMC

[pylebreton]

Hi, <br /><br />My engine makes a continuous sound from the OMC console, which means that the engine was overheated.<br /><br />But in such a case, the engine should be stuck to 2000RPM and I can go much over.<br /><br />The documentation says that we have to wait for the engine to get refresh and try again to start it. But when I only turn the key, whitout starting the engine, the continuous sound is here and never stops.<br /><br />If somebody can give me tip, or better some diagrams of Johson 40HP (1992).<br /><br />Thanks,<br />PYL.<br />

Hey PYL<br />If I understand the problem correctly, the heat alarm sounds continuously even when the motor is cold........if this is true you have a faulty heat sensor or the wire between the sensor and the alarm is shorting out. Check for a short first.<br />Good luck,<br />Backlash

Don't forget the horn itself. They go bad with amazing regularity.<br /><br />Good luck!
