Oil Pressure Switch (Fig. 4-35).
(a)
With engine stopped, disconnect the two
leads from the oil pressure switch.
(b)
Attach a continuity tester to the two
terminals on the switch. Have an assistant turn over the
engine several times. As oil pressure builds and exceeds
13 psi, the switch will close.
(c)
Watch the continuity tester. At first
there should be no continuity reading. As the switch
closes, a continuity reading can be observed on the tester.
If no reading is obtained, the switch is defective and must
be replaced.

Fuel Stop Solenoid (Fig 4-36).
(a)
With an external 12V source connected
to solenoid switch terminal, check operation of plunger
and current draw.
(b)
Current draw with the plunger up
should be about 1 amp. If it is much more, the contacts did
not close and solenoid should be replaced.
c.
Replacement of Low Oil Pressure Switch.
(1) Remove engine shroud cover.
(2) Disconnect the two leads (fig. 4-35) from the
switch. Unscrew the low oil pressure switch.
