This engine has a low oil shut-off feature. I by-passed the low oil pressure sending unit, & the engine ran OK. I sent for a new sending unit, & received it in record time. After installing it in the oil filter adaptor, the engine/generator ran like new! I\'m glad I checked it out before actually needing it due to a power outage.
Drained oil (needed to be changed anyway).
Disconnected two wires at top of sensor.
Unscrewed old sensor, installed new one.
Connected wires.
Installed new oil filter and oil.
Started right up.
This device was a gift. Previous owner had replaced the carb, the spark plug and was in the process of a complete tear down, I disconnected the leads to the pressure switch and it ran just fine. Then installed the new pressure switch. \"Problem solved\". Thanks so much!

The oil light came on as though there was low oil. The oil was fine. The generator would not stay running, since the oil pressure unit was defective. One replaced, the generator works fine.
