Oil level???
Check your OIL level.... if oil is low.. the low oil cutoff will keep it from running....Originally posted by fox_racer_162 View Post

i tried to jump the oil switch out. i just used a jumper wire against both prongs. nothing happened. maybe im doing it wrong?? does the connectors need to be off the switch to jump out. when i was jumping it out with it all still hooked up, key was on and it was activating my idle down and up silonoide.

Whole thing seems wierd, I have had alot of problems with no start conditions with the plastic engine plug going through the fire wall, Usually corrodes there and I have to jumper wires through it.
Also had troubles with the coil trigger ( its under the flywheel )Comment
