How to connect oil pressure switch?

[wb4rt]

My Briggs v-twin replacement engine for my riding mower came with an oil pressure switch. I know it is not necessary, but might save my engine some day.

How can I connect it so it works? Do I just jumper a hot wire to it or ?

Any help is appreciated.

Post up your model number could help find the schematic. Do you want it to ground out the ignition, or just light a warning light?

I just want it to kill engine if oil level is low.

Thank you for any assistance.

Find the wire that attaches the ignition coil to your ignition switch. It is attached to terminal #3 in this drawing but yours might be different. That is the wire to tap into. That will put the low oil pressure switch in parallel with the key switch. :thumbsup:

Thanks Kenny,

I'll trace that wire and connect the switch!
