oil light

admin

I have a Lincoln SA-200, and the oil light went off, but my welder machine still running, welding, and the revs go up and down good, the oil is ok, i recently changed the oil pan.  Is there a big problem?Last edited by 7A749; 10-13-2013 at 03:53 PM.
Reply:I would check: Bulb burned out or bad connection? Bad or clogged oil pressure sensor? Depending upon the circuit design, it should change from ground to open or vice versa when the engine starts. Wire came off of sensor or other open circuit condition in wiring.?Is there a relay in the circuit? They can fail. Just some guesses. LOL.Last edited by SWells; 10-13-2013 at 02:30 PM.Miller Millermatic 252Miller Syncrowave 200Liincoln AC-DC 225Victor O-A Set
Reply:I would install a manual gauge ASAP to make sure it is not an engine issue. If the pressure is ok then figure out the electrical.  If you don't trust the light don't run it. Dan D
Reply:A murphy switch for both oil and water is very cheap compared to the alternative.                                    MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw

Reply:and how to take off the oil bulb?
Reply:If it's of original design, the whole light assembly pops out of the panel by pushing it out from behind.  The bulb is part of the assembly and isn't serviceable by itself.  You must replace the whole assembly.A few sources:http://billswelderrepair.com/SA200misc.html (10th photo down)http://hybriweld.com/products/runnin..._store=defaulthttp://stumpfweldingsupplies.com/NEW_200Parts.html (6th row down)http://www.mcssl.com/store/4833177/pilot-lightMM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!

Reply:Did the engine run before you changed the pressure switch? If it did the pressure switch was working and did not need replaced. I do not see a "oil light" anywhere near the pressure switch/oil filter. So still not sure what light you are talking about.ChrisAuction Addict
Reply:The OP switch on an SA-200 doesn't have anything to do with its ability to run or not.  It simply serves to supply battery power to the charging system voltage regulator and auto idler switch (if so equipped) and the OIL PRESSURE LIGHT on the control panel that confirms adequate oil pressure when the engine is running.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:Originally Posted by Drf255I'm with this guy ^^^^You better make sure you have oil pressure before you run it any more.  Not familiar with the engine in that machine per say, but you need to make sure you didn't do anything wrong with the oil pump or pickup tube when you replaced the pan.
