Check and Refill Engine Oil

Honda engine. And there's a oil level checker right here. You just unscrew it and you can check your oil level. And the oil level was extremely low. We've refilled up the power washer and it remedied the problem. So what happens is the engine as it utilizes oil. If it does utilize oil or if the oil for some reason gets low, this little switch inside here determines that the oil is getting low and it's actually going to kill the engine. So while we were running our engine, the oil was circulating through the engine and it would get to a point where it was a little bit low. The engine would die and then all those set the oil would settle back down into the bottom of the engine and it would retrip the sensor back on and then the engine would start back up and then the same thing would happen again. The the power washer would run for about you know 10 15 minutes and then it would act like it was running a gas. it would die and then we'd go check our gas and we failed to check the oil at that time and it was happening, you know, multiple times, but we finally checked the oil, filled it up full of oil, now it actually runs properly. Another thing to check is your gas cap. These gas caps right here on the Honda engines are special gas caps and they are venting gas caps and they allow air to come in. So, as the carburetor utilizes gas, the gas level in the tank is going to be going down. And if it doesn't vent, it's going to be creating a vacuum inside the gas tank. And eventually, the vacuum is going to be so tight, the gas won't lower, and it won't fill in the carburetor, and eventually the engine's going to die because it's not getting gas. So, what happens, you'll come out, you'll think it's running out of gas. You're going to open your cap. It's going to allow air to go back in. It's going to allow the gas level to drop and refill the carburetor and it'll start back up and you won't understand why it just started back up and why it died. And that's another possible cause is a bad non venting gas cap. These gas caps are pretty expensive gas caps, but they do go bad and you definitely want to check your gas cap and check your oil level. Make sure your oil level's proper so you keep your engine running proper. Don't ruin your engine. Luckily, Honda has these these sensors on here that if the oil level gets too low, it just won't allow the engine to run. Now, we got a close-up view. We've got our oil sensor right here. And those oil sensors do go bad over time.…
