Oil psi, sender, gauge?

[crazywelder72]

I noticed today that my gauge was barley over 0 today. After scratching my head for a second and tapping the gauge face, I shut off the power to see what the needle did. It dropped well below 0, turn on the power and back to where it was just above 0.

Maybe I just need to change the oil and filters, open to ideas?

Thanks

Test the sending unit with a multi meter...then test the wires between the sender and gauge, then test the gauge itself....might find your problem. If all chech out ok, then maybe you have debris blocking the passage to the sender? changing the oil and filters might make a difference, but if not, consult your local TM manual

Get rid of the electrical gauge and put in a mechanical one, saves alot of wondering.

Yup, mechanical. Don't "Go Boston!"

 

[crazywelder72]

So if do a mechanical, are we talking about so aftermarket type like at auto-zone? Just run a line up to the gauge?

btw... At least my typing skills are improving.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Yes you are correct.
