oil pressure

[Anonymous]

My oil pressure light has been coming on. Just a flicer few times in a row then it goes away. I am almost wondering if the light is short somewehere... How do you go about checking for fuel pressure? I've never done it before.
Oil level seemes ok. I'll try changing filter and oil first, but would still like to check the pressure somehow.

thanks

thanks

I'm guessing you meant oil pressure?On the right hand side at the 11 o'clock position, relative to the ign. trigger cover, is a chromed bolt that plugs the oil galley end from the oil pump, remove the bolt (plug) and attach pressure guage

It's my understanding there are some O rings on the oil pump that can cause the oil light to flicker. It could also just be the switch

Check the switch out first. I remember some saying replacing the oil pump o rings solved some low pressure problems.
