hello, brand new here.
ive got a 2012 honda BF150 with about 800hrs. all of the sudden while running (in a freezing northerly) the alarm started beeping. about a half second beep followed by about a second of silance then half a second beep and so on. due to my location and the water conditions, I checked the obvious (it was still peeing and the green oil light pressure light was still lit) and continued on because it would have been a safety issue to stop. the engine still runs perfectly in every way, except the beeping. no other alarm lights are on, although im now thinking that the check engine light bulb might be broke, as it does not come on even for a second when you first turn the key. The only thing that was new was I put a 2 micron racor filter on instead of the usual 10. i switched back to a new 10, thinking the 2 might have been to restricted, but didnt seem to make any diferance. I am now at a friends cabin out in the boonies in southeast alaska and not sure if its safe to make the 1 hour ride home in the cold windy winter weather. I called the dealer, and the only advice they had was to bring the engine to them so they could plug in the computer. not exactly an option at the moment. volt meter reads 13.5 while running, oil is full and clean, fuel filter is brand new and I had 0 sign of water or rust in the old one, and again, the engine runs perfect. what else could be causing my alarm? thanks in advance.
