Carbed 5.0L stalls at idle. Oil pressure safety switch? How to replace?
Can anyone advise on how to test & replace an oil pump safety switch?
3000SCR's port side 5.0L is stalling at idle. Runs very well above 2000 rpms. As soon as I drop the throttle down it stalls out. The yard mechanic serviced the carb (float, etc) for $100.00 but no change. I've read a lot about it possibly being the oil pressure safety switch cutting power to the fuel pump if the switch is shot. Oil pressure is ok & normal on the guage when running. Upon finding what I think is the switch near the oil filter, I pulled the 2 purplish wires off & put them back on to ensure good contact. No change. Cant seem figure out how it comes off the engine in order to replace it... (Also checked th safety lanyard which is also in tact & correctly in place.) Though it may be an easy & cheap next step to check out the op switch.
Anyone experience this issue & is it an easy DIY fix to test or replace it?
