[C320-list] Electrical Engine Alarm problem

[Larry Frank]

Maybe a bad oil pressure sender?

Since I have the Westerbeke, I do not know how your Yanmar works.  I had a
similar problem when I broke the electrical leads off the oil pressure
sender on WindSwept.

Electrical Engine Alarm problem.

Alarm works,
but not properly...
-----------------------------
NO ALARM SOUND when Key is in ON position.
NO ALARM SOUND when engine is running.
-----------------------------
ALARM SOUNDS if the Electrical LEAD to Engine is MOVED from DESIGNATED Male
connection on engine
         TO any GROUND POINT ON THE engine, AND the Key is on.
ALARM continues to SOUND if (AS ABOVE) and Engine is ON.
------------------------------

obviously the Alarm works, but not as it should.
-----------------------------

any suggestions appreciated
