The OEL light flickers where idle should be.
It's .5qt over. I have to put 80 miles on her this PM, I don't want to roll til I have opinions. It's setup WAY rich. M |

I had the same problem a week ago! I went out and purchased a mechanical pressure gauge and installed it! There was plenty of pressure so it is the sender that was bad!

Keep in mind the photos are of a 6 so it will be a bit different on a 4! It cost me $19.99 to check it!

Well..
I am worried, I'll just hold it off idle, and let Crumley deal with it in the AM. "Flicker, flicker OEL light, how I wish you'd go out tonight..." Wish me luck #2! M |

Well, it depends where your idle is set at.
800rpm and with the oil hot, yes - it can flicker at idle. Also, it depends what weight oil. 30wt? You bet. My motor gets pretty low pressure at idle when she's nice and hot. My friends 2056 with a 30mm T1 pump will have it's oil light flicker at idle. Blip the throttle and it goes out - that is normal. What wieght oil are you running again? Tom |

30wt, non-detergent, broke in cam today, and she has 83 miles on her.
Yeah, @ 1000 and under, sick. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This motor sounds like it has a motor hidden in it, unlike the first, which sounded like a warp core going critical. Thanks for all the stuff, I have to get over the paranoia of losing the first motor, I am sure I will sleep better. M |

Yes, the gauge was a cheep one! I just wanted to test the pressure! I plan on doing something like Kellzey!

I use two senders, one for the light and a second for the gauge. The oil light is a BIG red one but I guess I am a little paranoid though....
