2005 year model - have not seen this app as of yet. The report about it today is - The oil can lite blinking and warning horn going off within 1 minute of start up. I know this is the oil pressure (warning) for this app.
Again have not even seen the app yet, it is 2 hours away..
I know there is a bunch of things that can cause this. Yes the oil level is full.
Anyone know the common issues with this exact app that would cause this. This was its 2 nd time out for 2015 but with run times totally only 20 mins for the first time out and today for 2 minutes when the horn - oil can lite going off. within 1 minute running
I think maybe the oil is getting diluted with fuel, thinning it and increasing the oil level. Just a guess on my part not seeing it.
Possible clogged intake air filters causing rich conditions - diluting fuel another guess on my part.
Or bad oil pressure sensor / sender or its connection - my top 3 anything else ?
Thanks for anyone who has dealt with this or any leads.

Have had several oil pressure senders go bad on Fx 140's and Vx 110's. I've used these in rental fleet for years. I've rebuilt probably 25 to 30 of these motors , and oiling was never the cause of failure . Verify o/p with mech gauge. Wiring harness and gauge failures are very common . Good luck!!!
