OUCH!! You are NOT the first to lose a 4KY to low/no oil. You also validated something that comes up often: Searching for Oil Pressure or Oil Level Sensors on any 4KY made in nearly the last 20 years is fruitless - They Ain't Got'Em!
ONAN offers a replacement Engine for these. Not cheap, but cheaper than a new genset. We had a thread YEARS ago (maybe a Decade..) where an OP bought the replacement engine in a crate and swapped it over himself. I might do that, but then again I might not. The same thing could go wrong and blow the new engine. Covered under a warranty if a shop installed it, Not covered if I installed it, even if the work was done perfectly correctly in both cases.
