Asking for a friend.
He's done a very tidy, workmanlike, job of installing a new 3 cylinder Beta engine in his lovely Liz 33.
On Saturday, we bled the fuel system, and, after just a few seconds on the starter, it fired up beautifully.
Hmmmmmm .........Great stuff ................but, at idle, the oil pressure light comes on, and the buzzer sounds.
It's got this panel: Control Panel - C Deluxe
With the control lever in neutral, the light and alarm go off at around 2000 rpm (when the throttle is opened slowly).
When the throttle is then slowly closed, both come back on at around 1100 rpm.
If I remember correctly, the oil pressure gauge shows around 25 PSI at idle.
The oil level is about midway between the min. and max. holes on the dipstick.
He's going to call the dealer today, but I just wondered if anyone here has some words of wisdom they'd be willing to share, please?
A faulty sender or pressure relief valve, maybe?
