I have a Yamaha yg6600de generator. When I start it and put a load on it, the low oil shutdown light will come on for a second, try to kill it, then go off and go back to running rpm. Never shuts it down, just tries for a second. It does this for a minute or so then is ok most of the time. Will happen once in a while while running. Have tried letting it warm completely before loading with no differance. Have checked and changed the oil many times with no effect. Just started doing this. Any ideas besides chaning the oil level sensor? :confused: Thanks
