Evinrude 70hp alarms

[Greg Holmes]

Model: AE70TLCDC<br />I am having some trouble with motor not starting like it is not in neutral.<br />When I can get it running I get intermittent beep alarm (every second). <br />What does this mean?<br />What safeguards does the motor have that would prevent it starting?<br />Is Outboard Jim out there (#18214)? He was very helpful last time.

beeping every second is the no oil alarm<br />put 50:1 in it right away<br />once moter is running squeeze the primer bulb on oil tank just enough to get beeping to stop<br />if beeping doesn't stop time to rebuild\replace vro pump also change oil filter in tank<br />there is nothing in vro system to prevent motor from starting only alarms for low oil no oil or engine overheat

Thanks marinemech. I'll check the oil. I thought the no oil was a fast beep and overheat was a continuous beep. Or is the low oil a fast beep?<br />If I do away with the VRO and use 50:1 will I need to dis-able the alarm? If so, how?

low oil slow beep<br /><br />no oil quick beep<br /><br />overheat steady horn (beep)<br /><br />Run the motor on 50:1 while you work on the system If you can get it to work,it's a great system.Your problem is that the pump is 1986 and most likely shot.At about $280 US it's pricey to do.<br /><br />DHP

to run straight 50:1 disconnect and plug oil feed<br />disconnect three or four wire harness from vro pump just be sure to always use 50 :1
