This may help me find out why my oil light does not work.

There are three wires: the Y/BK and the dark BL are for the choke heater (AWG 14 wires).
There is a light blue one that is thinner (AWG20) and that is for the oil pressure light.
You can ground that contact with a piece of wire and then the oil light should come on.
If it does, the oil pressure switch is faulty.
This part of the oil pressure switch is a normally closed contact, it opens as soon as there is oil pressure and the light will go off.
Thanks, I will try it.
