Hi all
You may well have seen my other thread " BF50 choke to Se carbs" its all related . I am trying to refurbish a 2002 50A the unit runs in a water barrel and I have it wired into an automobile start switch . The switch unit consists of 2 x on off toggle switches a push start button and 2 x 12 volt lights one Red the other Green . The start switch is temporary for test purposes and I would like to wire in my oil pressure switch to the green indicator light.
Taking a measurement from the oil pressure switch to ground at idle rpm I get around 27 volts dc.
Can any body confirm this is the correct voltage . I know the honda remote indicators are LED units but according to the Selco manual you can test them with a 12 volt battery. Therfore I assumed that the circuit would produce around 12 volts when running ?
The pressure switch must be functional as it shows continuity when stopped and open circuit when running. 27 volts would be a tad too high for a 12 volt lamp so either my switch is faulty or my oil pressure is low ?
thanks
