Incorrect oil pressure switch

 

Does anyone have the psi spec’s on the 45 oil psi switch?

 

3 pound of oil pressure before it lights the bulb with out the screen its less then 2

 

Good deal! Thanks.

 

Here,s on for a Briggs and Stratton with a 3 to 5 lb setting. It has a spade connector instead of a stud and nut though. if this helps.

 

Just FYI, I have never gotten one to work properly on my '46. Either the light never comes on, the light never turns off, or the damn thing leaks. I chase it once every two years, then go back to having nothing. When you stop at a red light, take the oil tank cap off, if you are getting smoke/steam, she is circulating just fine. Wish I had a better answer, this works for me, I stopped worrying about it.

 

A local motorcycle machine shop mention that I should look into what Stewart Warner oil pressure switch.
That’s why I trying to find the spec on the og switch rating. According to my motorcycle machine shop they work excellent!

 

A 45 has the first of the later two part oil pumps one feeds one returns - its a 1929 idea and the r type before it

its not a car or even a late type lawn mower - its a crude often slow er then what was needed machine to ride - but its cool

the switch i posted to the right side is the only one that could work for the idea you have not being freaked about a oil light on - with out the screen its 1-1/2 pounds and it will blink when idling < i hope you read this last line
