briggs and other v twin oil gauges
well after spending 2 hours degreasing engine parts I thought I would start looking at oil pressure gauges and wanted some feedback as to what others are using.
my plans are to find a guage with 0-50 or 60 psi with a wide sweep to i could monitor pressure down in to the single digits since i was checking out youtube and found an install that when cold got 40 psi then dropped to 5 psi or unreadable on the gauge he had when hot. |

Re: briggs and other v twin oil gauges
Something must be wrong if the oil press is dropping to below 5 psi. My OP doesn't drop below 35-40 when hot. The gauge is electrical, not mechanical.

The sending unit that came with the gauge was quite large and needed to be plumbed to fit. |

Re: briggs and other v twin oil gauges
Yes, it needs 12v, and there is a connection on the top. There is only one way to plumb it in and should not affect the low oil shutdown.
