the side of the engine next to the tank. Its operating
contacts are normally closed. If engine temperature rises
above 240” F, the switch contacts open, de-energizing the
fuel stop solenoid and stopping the engine. The switch
closes again at about 195°F.
(2) The low oil pressure switch (fig. 4-35) is
located behind the engine shroud door. The switch is
normally open. As the engine is cranked over, the switch
contacts close, completing the circuit to the fuel stop
solenoid (fig. 4-36).
(3) If oil pressure drops below approximately 13
psi, the switch opens the fuel stop solenoid circuit and the
engine will stop.
(4) If fuel flow from the tank stops due to no fuel,
a clog in the fuel line, or a short in the solenoid circuit, the
fuel stop solenoid will de-energize. The engine will stop.

Test.
(1)
High Temperature Switch (Fig. 4-34).
NOTE
Make sure engine temperature is below
195 ‘F before attempting this test.
(a)
Open the engine junction box and
disconnect the two high temperature switch leads. These
leads should be marked with the number 35 on a band
marker.
(b)
Using a continuity tester, test for
continuity of the high temperature switch. If tester
indicates there is continuity, the switch should be okay. If
the tester shows that there is no continuity, the switch is
defective and must be replaced.
