Check Engine Oil Level and Sensor

and how to remedy it. So, we have this the Honda engine before us right here and two things that are actually going to cause that engine to start dying typically. And one of them is a faulty gas cap or right here on the engine, we got a yellow wire right here. This is actually an oil sensor and it senses the oil level on the engine itself and it's actually a kill switch. So, if the oil level gets too low, it's actually going to kill the engine and it's a safety mechanism that keeps the low oil level from ruining the engine. In this power washer, we checked the gas cap. The gas cap was functioning properly. And so, then the next thing we did was we checked the oil level on the 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.
