Time to update this thread
I went to use it one day and it ran for 5 minutes or so then cut out
Now it will start if I try, but it runs very slowly ,with a knock and it jumps around on the floor
When I close the stepper motor controlling the diesel injector pump it wont start but the excess fuel burns off.
Then when I open that stepper a little it starts and revs up to full revs then cuts itself off.
I think it is a problem with the automatic cutouts builtin for "low oil pressure " and "low fuel" or
one I have not seen yet.
The oil cutout seems to be grounded at start and pressure breaks the connection.
The fuel level sensor is a new type like this

but with a much longer stem
I am not sure how to test this sensor and wonder if any member has had experience with it yet?
It has 2 wires coming out and I am going to assume it breaks the contact when fuel is low but it may be the opposite.
The data sheet is confusing showing Form A with one side open and the other closed and then Form B with the opposite
Disconnecting the switch has no effect though and I am wondering if I short the two wires to test it ,would I do any damage to the device or the electronics reading it?
