Just got my hands on a cheap EB in decent condition (or so I thought) but after a few weeks I noticed the oil light on the dash lit up. There is plenty of oil in the motor, the light doesn't flicker or turn off if i rev the motor. But when the motor is cold (first start of the day) it takes about 2 seconds for the light to turn on, but after that its on as soon as the motor fires. any ideas what problem i might be facing?

fatman.

The oil pressure switch itself could be faulty, bolts on the block next to the coil. $20.

good on you!

gave it a service, changed opil, filter and the oil pressure switch at the same time

problem solved
