I have a 2011 Honda BF 40 engine. I've been running it for 3 years. There is an alarm that sounds pretty consistently, mostly when I am at low idle. If I am running full bore, then it usually will not sound. When the alarm goes off, I just put it in neutral, shut the engine down and it fires right back up. It used to happen once every couple trips but is happening closer to a dozen times each trip.
I just changed the inline fuel filter, installed a raycor, and changed the high pressure fuel filter. So I'm pretty sure I have everything squared away from the fuel side of things. But the alarm still sounded a handful of times, seemingly always at lower idle.
I used a paper clip to run the codes on the engine(thanks youtube). The codes flashed one short, 3 second break, 2 long flashes, 6 short flashes. I think it means 26, but when I contacted a dealer they said that the BF40 doesn't have a code for 26, so maybe I have it wrong or I shouldn't trust the paper clip method. Fault code 26 on the bigger engines is oil pressure switch I believe, but I'm interested to hear what people on the forum think.
I live in a remote place on the Aleutian Islands, so sending the engine out is expensive, and I'm hoping I can try my luck before I get to that option.
