I have a '93 SeaSwirl with a 115 hp outboard Johnson engine.... previously, I
had some issues getting it started (due to not understanding how to activate the
"fuel enrichment circuit") and the fuel gauge was reading empty even though the
tank was full. There was a beeping alarm that would start about 120 seconds
after starting the engine (whether started cold or already warmed up made no
difference, 120 seconds after starting the beeping begins). It was thought this
might be related to the fuel guage showing empty all the time...

I put a new sending unit in the fuel tank and now the guage is reading full, but
the beeping persists! :-(

We've already disconnected the brown wires from the temp sensors on the side of
the engine and that has no effect whatsoever. snip


Just a far-out thought: perhaps the temp sensors are "fail-safe": they ALARM
when disconnected and "ok" is when they're connected to ground. Try shorting the
brown wire to ground?
