"I have a Perkins 1984 4.108M
"I have a Perkins 1984 4.108M with 4,500 hours. It has an audible low pressure alarm, I also recently fitted a visual mechanical oil pressure guage. Increasingly, as I throttle back into idle after motoring the low pressure alarm sounds, eg if anchoring - if I throttle up in neutral it stops sounding. Now the problem has worsened the alarm is sounding almost as soon as I start the engine even though the visual mech pressure guage indicates the pressure is acceptable, eng temp is also fine - any ideas what could be wrong or how to test?
Thanks."
