Like the title, I have a 91 120 V4 with the VRO disconnected and I run premix. I bought the boat with no oil tank, and the PO never unhooked the wires for the alarm/oil sensor. So after some research, I unhooked the wires to get it out of "limp" mode. I took it out this past weekend, and, not at first, but after about 30 minutes, I heard a quiet but noticeable "buzz" sound coming from the engine area, almost like an alarm, even though I disconnected the alarm for low/no oil. Is there another alarm on these engines, or am I simply hearing perhaps a resonance vibration or maybe just one of the line fittings rubbing against the splash well? It only happened when I was cruising at just below plane speeds, and wasn't loud enough that I instantly recognized it as an alarm.
