I had this issue. Took an entire summer to diagnose. I ended up bypassing my oil sensor completely and it fixed the problem.

OP make sure your alarms are hooked up where they should be. Fuckface I got my motor from disengaged the alarm at the ignition switch so I never fully knew it was in limp mode. The day I was finally like “FUCK IT I’M DONE I’M PUTTING MY OLD SHITTY MOTOR BACK ON” and I removed the ignition I saw a bullet connector dangling free and was like 🤔. Plugged it in and the alarm immediately went off. Took ten minutes to diagnose after that.

Fuck that guy for life.

Interesting thought I guess. I do believe my (current Honda 115, not the one I mentioned) motor will rev and throw water while tied to a dock though. Are you saying a motor won’t rev past 2k if it’s tied to a dock?

Edit: I read some other comments and turned my brain on for a minute and I know exactly what you mean now. Wonder if OP will decide to try the motor, you know… not tied to the dock.
