Hello,
Yesterday i purchased a used Honda 15hp year 2008.
The engine sat still for 10 months. it fired right up and all was well.
Oil light shining bright.
Engine oil is fresh and just below maximum on the dipstick.
After that i started to polish the hood of the engine with the machine.
When i started the engine afterwards the oil light flickers a few time (no special pattern)
But has been of for most of the time now.
I have cleaned the connectors since some of them where corroded.
I have put the multimeter on the oil pressure sensor and measuring 5 volts AC idling and more AC volts when i give more throttle.
When i measure the jack connectors that lead from the CDI unit to the bulb itself i really dont measure anything.
I have tried hooking a 9v battery to the oil check light bulb but no succes.
Since the polishing machine vibrates a lot, and with the corroded wires, i think it must be somehting simple.
my questions:
Is the oil pressure sensor outputting AC or DC voltage?
It the oil check light require AC of DC voltage?
How can i check the actual working of the oil check light?
Thanks in advance, i will post the final solution and i hope somebody can help me.
Hope my English is good enough, cheers from the Netherlands
