Predator low oil sensor?

[dave phelps]

Anyone had this sensor out yet?? Mine is leaking oil out of the center of it or where the wire comes out. Just curious as I guess I’ll prolly weld the hole shut to stop it or just a bolt if anyone knew the thread pitch.
Thank you in advance

If it will run without I'd remove it and the wire, believe its just a shutdown.

Yes Jim. I cut the wire last year at ash. Gotta pull starter off to even get to it before I can figure out threads or just take it out and weld the hole shut. Just wondering if anyone else ran into this yet!! Or if I’m just that lucky!! Lol

[ARGOJIM]

I only had mine in the conquest about 130 miles between ash and tn, left it in MD on the way home, so no for me.

[dave phelps]

Lol. You parted ways with a machine?? I didn’t think you did that��

Here’s an update on that sensor. You have to take crankcase cover off to get it out. So I cut wire off flush and pushed it in the hole a lil bit and filled with RTV and will see if that will hold the leak. I’ll keep ya posted on this

I've seen a guy on youtube called red beards garage take apart a 420cc predator and he used a 7/16 tap to thread the hole. Not sure if sensor is same on both engines

Will take a look at that,but I just don’t really feel like taking crankcase cover off to remove from the inside. If I get real ambitious I may pull that cover off and take it out. Until then I’ll hope the rtv holds����

rtv is ? johnboy va.

If that doesnt hold, drill out a little and jbweld it. Never had any leak.

LOL Jim I’m being lazy and reall don’t wanna do that. I’ll use the excuse that I don’t have a gasket.

Oh, sorry thought you were referring to the shroud and not the case, different story.
