Engine Oil Pressure Switch
The switch is normally closed (NC) and opens with
pressure.
The switch opens at approximately 8 psi.
1. Turn ignition key s
witch ON. Oil pressure lamp should
be on.
If bulb is not on:
1. Disconnect wire from switch and touch wire to a good
ground.
2. If lamp comes on, replace switch.
3. If lamp does not come on check wiring between lamp
and switch for continuity.
If lamp is on with engine runni
ng:
1. Shut off engine immediately.
2. Check switch by disconnecting wire. Light should go
out.
3. If light is still on, check for short circuit in wiring.
4. Install test gauge i
n engine oil pressure switch port.
Start engine and check for 30 psi minimum at 1500 rpm.
If engine pressure is good, replace switch. If engine
pressure is low, DO NOT operate the engine.
Fuel Gauge Sender
1. Disconnect wire and remove the fuel gauge sender
from the fuel tank.
2. Install an ohm meter between the terminal and base.
3. With arm completely down (empty position), resis-
tance should be 240-260 ohms.
4. With arm completely up (full position), resistance
should be 29-34 ohms.
NOTE: Bend float arm, if necessary, to get proper gauge
reading for a 1/2 full tank.
Make sure the sending unit is completely dry
(no fuel on it) before testing. Perform test
away from fuel tank to prevent an explosion
or fire from sparks.
