Have a new to me 95 Johnson electric start. I noticed that sometimes or maybe every time that when I turn the key to start the motor it makes about a one second beep sound and stops. What is that?
Re: Quick one beep sound when turning engine key/ starting?
Start up a thread on the iboats Johnson outboard motor page. You'll have better luck there. They'll need to know year, HP, and type if motor to be able to help.
Re: Quick one beep sound when turning engine key/ starting?
That noise on startup is the noise to tell you the alarm system is working. Then during operation, you will get continuous alarm if the engine overheats and a short blast every three to five seconds if the oil tank gets low and a warble if the oil stops pumping for some reason.
