Oil jet blockage
#10
Hi All

This thread has got me thinking.  I have a bored out pump and a standard 10 psi gauge.  On start up pressure is off the gauge, hot running also off the gauge, hot tickover around 2 psi.

So how would I know if I have a blocked jet? At normal running the gauge is showing 10 psi and on the stop!

So I’ve bought a pressure switch that will close contacts between 4 and 29 psi (adjustable). The idea being to install a warning light to light when the pressure reaches a certain value. I will T in the switch in the oil line to the gauge.

 My question, at what pressure should I set the switch?  I’m thinking about 20psi?  The light would then be on at start up.....go out as the oil heats up... and light up again if 20 psi is reached.

Cheers

Howard
