Hi all,
At what pressure should the oil warning light go on/off? I think the sensor on mines had it so just want to check with a guage. Hope its not the mains! Also what pressures can I expect warm? 40psi tick over? 60 full revs?
Cheers.

Sins Dexta did,nt have any pressuregauge you have to mount some, by take out the oilpresureswitch (just under exosmanifold) and screew in a oilpr.gauge in that hole... or send your oilpr.switch to anybody who can tell you. - But is this necessary? pick of the wire and connect a testlamp or something like that, and you will see whatewer your oilswitch is working or not. Did your tractor have good cond. at your engine? or is it tired of a long life? This is why the oilpressure are low or high? but the oil-lamp will work anyvay, if wiring and bulb is in ok cond.

Yeah the wiring is fine as i replaced it all. I'm pretty sure the sensor has had it as the light has only ever gone off once. I just wanted to check the pressure with my guage whilst i had it out to see what it ran at.
Does anyone know where i can get an original style pressure sensor? Not the ones with the snap connector fitting.
