Hi again;
The members of this forum have been very helpful in the past and I hope they will be this time as well.
Like the title says, my friend has a 225 Honda with 2400 hrs. His last topic lead him to replace the whole vst package to fix his problem. Now he has a new problem.
He's a deer hunter as well, so the boat sits more frequently since September It's not uncommon for the boat to sit 2 weeks between use, but now, when he starts the engine, it idles for 20-30 seconds and emits a loud horn-like sound from the engine for about 3-5 seconds.
This is not an alarm from the dash. We know what that sounds like from needing the O2 sensor replaced several years ago. He explains it as half as loud as an air horn; in fact, he thought someone had sounded an air horn the first time he heard it.
Like many, he hoped this wouldn't happen again, however, it has become a routine event upon startup. The last time, he actually took the cowling off before starting so he could confirm the sound was coming from the motor.
He has fished the boat after the 'horn", and the motor runs fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
