7 Oil Injection (if equipped)
7.1 Testing the Float Switch (2010 and later models)
Background
The function of the float switch is to prevent the engine from running
without oil in the oil tank. If the oil tank is low on oil, the float switch
opens and kills the ignition. A severed float switch wire will also kill the
ignition. In the event that the engine runs but shuts off by itself within
approximately 25 seconds, even with oil in the oil tank, the float switch
could be faulty.
Requirements
• Machine shut down and cool
•Multimeter
• Oil tank at least 1/4 full
Procedure
Perform the procedure below to test the float switch.
7.1.1 Remove the carburetor guard (a).
7.1.2 Disconnect the float switch wiring
