I'll preface this with the fact I haven't looked in the TM's yet. I'll likely be doing that rather than twiddling my thumbs at work tomorrow. No emergency, so no urgent need.
I went out to start the 802a today. Hasn't run in a while, so I thought I'd put some fuel additives, and winter stabilizer in it since the weather is beginning to be less nice.
Checked the fluids, batteries, etc. All seemed well. Hit Prime/Run, and the pump was ticking over fine. Went to Start, and I got 1 rotation, and it kicked out. Oil Pressure light was on, pump was off. Reset, and same deal.
I did try the dead crank switch, and the unit sounds fine turning over. I took a quick look in the control box, and all seems ok in terms of no smoke/sparks/fire, and no mouse evidence, but that's as far as I went.
I'll be away from it for several days. So I have plenty of time to read the TM, but I can't test/try anything until I get back here with some time for it. It's also kinda a hard condition to hit a tight search for here. If this sounds like something you've seen commonly, I'd be happy with a pointer to a thread, or the first thing you'd check. I really don't have enough time on this machine to have any feeling for where to start. (other than ordering another can of DeOxit, 'cause I just killed mine on another machine today)
