    Hi all,
    I got a problem with the engine, during running generator for one hour, its autoshut. I found the event is oil low pressure. I check the oil level normal , no oil leak with external area and no clogged with the fiilter. I already replaced the new filter and oil one month ago. Please advise any troubleshoot way for related problem.

    Disconnect the wire on the oil pressure sensor / sender and run the engine to see if it still shuts down. If it doesn't shut down than replace your oil pressure sender.

    Sorry. I didn’t realize the OP was in Hong Kong.
