Warning sound

[Jdog]

whoa, ok im officialy crapping in my pants, but thanks for the info. maybe I should take it to a marine mechanic for this issue, but if it's fuel restriction, whitch it could be due to the fact that im using a test gas tank that the guy i baught it from had it hooked up to. he said the real tank has just been cleaned and drained but the hose to hook it up is just sitting where all the cables come out and inside the box i see the fuel/water seperator, I wanted to change that filter before i hooked up the real gas tank.

thx for all the info.

If the alrm stops soon after letting out of the throttle, then it is probably the fuel restriction alarm setting it off. The fittings on portable tanks are really large enough to supply 20-22 gallons per of fuel which is what that 200 will drink if you open it up. Find out why the alarm is going off first thing though as running with the alarm going off is just begging for trouble.

From the sounds of it you either have a 95 or older, or somebody used the system check to old style conversion harness(96+ used a system check guage that had individual warning lights to tell you what the alarm was for). With the old style system you would get a solid horn for overheat while it was overheating, a solid horn when the fuel restriction sensor was tripped(would stop once the fuel restriction was no longer present), and I believe a beeping horn for low or no oil.
