97 XP flickering oil light

[callmaniac]

Rolled our 97 XP. Wouldn't start. Followed some of the forums and got it started. Lake tested. Runs great except for a flickering oil light that I never noticed in the past. Higher RPM's no light on. Lower RPM's and idle speed it flickers. Sometimes on. Sometimes off.

Thanks in advance for the expert advice.

Level indicator....?

This light has one function....tell you how much oil you have in your injection tank. It's not a light like in your car that says you've lost oil pressure, therefore, you will do no damage to your engine if that light comes on. But...you do need to check the level in your oil injection tank.

This "flicker" is probably a result of the ski rolling. The oil level indicator flipped up, then back over. So, it's either sticking or even trying to short out. You can clean the connector and use some die electric grease at the connection. If it's bothersome, you can simply disonnect it. But, keep in mind that your checking this oil level will be paramount in not running it dry, causing engine damage..............:cheers:
