      I'm having a very similar issue.
      ok, from the top - I have a 1993 Johnson (Tracker) 40hp TJ40ELETB.
      I've cleaned and flushed the VRO tank, installed new filet, bulb and hose.
      Had the carbs rebuilt and now after running it for about 2 to 3 minutes I get a "beep beep beep". After doing ALOT of searching I know this is an oil alarm.
      I'm getting smoke out the exhaust and it has the distinctive oil smell, si I know it's getting oil (at least SOME).
      I also know that the fuel pump also draws the oil so, could the punp be headed south and drawing gas but not enough oil? Or could a faulty connection in the VRO wiring be sending a bad signal to the alarm?
      I'm grasping at straws here I know but its driving me crazy.
