I've been using a 3,500 watt generator outside the bus for dry camping. The low oil sensor shut it down today. Put oil (it was indeed low and off the dip stick) but upon restarting, the low oil light didn't go off. Gen ran anyway for about 5-10 minutes and stopped itself again. This time it wouldn't restart. Let it me for 20-30 minutes and it fired up again. 5-10 minutes of running.......shut down.

I know the sensor's can go bad but this one seems to me like it's stuck. We'll I guess that means bad. It's not recognizing that oil is in their and switching back to normal. I'll have to wait until tomorrow (raining now) to bypass the sensor temp and see what happens. Any suggestions ? It's a Kipor and it's in an enclosed case and pretty cramped to tinker around with the engine. Should I try tapping around the sensor with a hammer maybe to jar it back ? I'm not even certain how the sensor mechanism works. The generator only has about 30 hours of run time on it. Ran all last night fine.
