My new Champion quit!
Anyone know where the low oil switch is located? Does it shut down the ignition by making a ground connection or breaking it? I am guessing that bypassing the low oil switch might be a good place to start.
Any suggestions or experience relating to this?
Bill, trace the wire coming out of the engine block on the front side. It should be black to yellow or yellow to yellow and have a connector that you can pull apart. If you disconnect the wire the low oil shutdown is disabled.
If the low oil switch is stuck the engine will usually fire one time and then nothing. CPE did redesign the switch about two years ago so sticking is rare.
You might be way ahead to just go ahead and call CPE and describe your problem. The tech's will walk you through a troubleshooting routine. Phone: (562) 236 9422
You can also visit their web site and check their tech bulletins for ideas.
