Once warm my oil pressure falls below 10psi and the green light comes on at idle.
I feel hot air coming out the oil fill. So I suspect the oil is getting frothy and not able to do it's job.

I have carbs. Timing is adjusted to Pelical artical recommended 34ish* BTDC.

Maybe that's too much?

Just did an oil change to try to remedy this. It's not buring oil.

Mine did the same thing yesterday. First run on a oil change with castrol 20/50 high mileage. It was just sorta flickering. Never did that with the diesel oil I was running before. I'll just run it till things make funny noises though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blowup.gif)
