Hey hows it going everyone,
The other day went to go look at a 1995 johnson 90hp that is for sale in my town for a good price (1200). The engine started up and ran however there was a problem with it that has me worried. After a a minute or two of running the engine alarm went off for about 10 seconds. As I understand, the system will give you different alarms for different problems so I am trying to decifer what is the problem at hand. The guy who is selling the engine is a boat mechanic and he said that since the VRO wasnt hooked up (we only had it running off of a spare tank that was premixed) that that is what the alarm was for, but I dont think i should take his word for it. Also, wouldnt such an alarm go off constantly if the tank wasnt attached. Does anyone know what could be the problem? I am an amatuer at best so any help would be much appreciated.
