onan p216 oil pressure switch wiring

Recommended Posts

ericj

i thought i had my onans wiring figured out...... but i transferred a p216 from a 89 416-8 to a 91 416-H. now ,y problem with out tearing a good motor apart i need to figure out were to mount the back wire with round loop on, on a 416 onan use's a single terminal oil pressure switch were as the 520 uses a double pole switch. the wiring harness has a black and a blur wire for the oil switch. the motors i checked have the blue wire going to the switch but i don't know were to put the black wire. i did check the 416-8 frame and found not all of the pin in the 9 pin connector are used. but that still don't tell me were to put the black wire.the other 416's that i have and check have the black wire going with the blue wire down towards the oil switch. i might have to just pull the shroud of a complete motor. don't really want to do that though if somebody could help me out. thanks

Eric, there should be no need to pull the tins off. Let me check the wiring guides and I'll get back to you. My initial look at the 2 pole swtich representation in the schematic is a little confusing. It doesn't jive with the written circuit descriptions.

Do you have an ohmmeter? We can verify this without taking the covers off. The engine has to be able to run to produce oil pressure to check the switch function.

When I transplanted a Kohler 18 magnum in my 520 I used a onen 20hp oil pressure switch. One wire is for the light and the other is for the hour meter ground. This was for a 1990 520H. Are you trying to make it operate with the onen 16 sensors?

save old iron, yes i have a ohmmeter, my 520 that i worked on had a 2 pole switch with a n/c and n/o marked terminal one is for start and one is for run from what i seen, not sure if this is correct or not.

smoreau, yes i am trying to use the single oil pressure switch if possible or other wise i'll have to buy one of the 2 pole switches

Sorry Eric, I dropped the ball on this one, forgot about it completely. First, we need to see how the oil indication light responds on your particular indicator board. As you said, "Pin 9" on the indicator board may not actually be the 9th pin from the start of the row of pins. We may need to rely on the color of the wire on the connector to call out which pin is actually receiving the signal from the harness. On the schematic diagram, I see a dark blue wire (looks like pin 12 on the connector).

The low oil pressure condition should cause the one wire sender terminal to be grounded. Sufficient oil pressure to trigger the sender should allow the terminal to become disconnected from ground. With this logic, grounding the dark blue on the indicator board connector should cause the low oil pressure light to turn on. No connection to the dark blue wire should allow the low oil pressure light to extinquish. You can confirm this with a simple jumper wire to ground and touch the dark blue wire on pin 12?. With pin 12? grounded, the oil pressure light should come on. If that all checks out, wire the dark blue wire at the engine to the oil sender.

The "left over" black wire from the two terminal oil sender can be wired directly to ground. The only differnence will be the hour meter is now capable of clocking time if the ignition key is left in the run position.

If you want the hour meter to not clock time with the key left in RUN, I can come up with a quick DPDT relay circuit to allow both functions to be present on the tractor. A relay may run $5 - $7 vs big $$$$ for the two terminal pressure switch.

i just found your reply and it is to late to try and check tonight any more and tomorrow don't look good, but the first chance i get i'll check it out. i know when the wires go through the 9 pin connector they change colors. right now the blue wire is on the oil switch, i had the black wire grounded, don't ask, i was getting spark around the engine tin were i grounded the wire and the tractor would start but not charge. after removing the wire it now charges but won't start with the key, i have to jump it at the starter. i'll check it out and get back to you as soon as possible thanks for,your help

The first thing I would confirm is the black wire that sparks actually goes back to the (-) lead of the hourmeter. Grounding that wire should not cause any issues with the charge circuit.

      I recently bought a 1994 tall chute single stage snow thrower, model 79360.  I have replaced the chain, both idler sprockets, both idler pulleys and one jack shaft bearing on the chain side.  The auger is strait and the bearings are smooth.  It runs quietly.  I have it mounted on my 314H powered by a Kohler M16.  I am shearing the pulley key on the jack shaft.  It has happened twice now.  The first time it threw the set screw so I thought it was a matter that the screw was not tight enough.  Toro shows one screw although the pulley is drilled and tapped for two.  I was careful I thought when I positioned and tightened that screw.  After the first time, 20 minutes running, I added the second screw.  I also noticed the pulley has some wobble to it so I used some shim stock in order that there would be no play between the shaft and the pulley.   I ran it for about 20 minutes again and noticed both screws were loose so I used Loctite 242.  I let that sit for about 30 minutes and went out again.  In about 20 minutes I sheared the new key right off with a portion of it in the keyway of the pulley.  The shaft is clear of the key but has been scored some.
      My driveway is paved.   I was plowing before and built up some snow banks.  The first time I sheared the key, the thrower was mainly resting on the scraper blade and I was just removing snow from the driveway, I thought I might have jammed it with some ice.  The second time I raised the thrower to give it clearance so there was about 3/8†between the blade and the runners which I adjusted.   
      I ease the machine into snow and creep along.  I do not ram it into snow banks.  I’ve seen videos of these things working really well.  Mine was blowing snow beautifully but something is not right.  Is it the fit between the pulley and the jackshaft?   Why would Loctite not hold the set screws? What is wrong with my machine or what I’m doing wrong?
      I have to suspect there is a weak point where something will give or the belt will just slip.  My belt is new and has the correct Toro Part number.  It fits the way I have seen them mounted so I doubt that has any part of what is happening.
      I would appreciate your thoughts. 
      Thanks

      I've been reading through various chain & bearing repair posts regarding the snow thrower.  I have just acquired a 1994.  The auger, jack shaft bearings and drive sprocket are in good shape.  The blower needs idler pulleys, a chain and the inside sprockets.  The auger sprocket rotates with about a 1/4" of wobble and the teeth are getting sharp. Is it normal for the auger sprocket to be off a little when manufactured?   The auger itself runs true.  Not sure how far to go with the rebuild as I know the auger sprocket would have to be re-done at a machine shop.  Here are a couple of pictures of the sprocket teeth.  What do you think?
       
      Thanks for your time.

      trying to determine whether i have a good trans or not and have a question or more.
      i have an eaton 1100 in a rolling chassis that i want to test to see if its working well enough to justify using in a new tractor rebuild. i hooked it up to my 1848 pto with a longer mower belt to test it out. oil looks very clean so i left it and i know i need to get the correct filter on there, but for now its staying until i see some light at the end of the tunnel.
       

       

       
      just did a quick test tonight to see if i could at least get the lift to work. success on the first pull of the lever. hydro pump seems very quiet and no leaking or damp areas either. i worked the lift up and down from one extent to the other and it worked as good as any nice working lift i have. so I'm happy so far, now the questions......
       
      to test the drive I'm going to get it up off the ground and see if i can get the wheels to turn in either direction. i want to run it this way for quite a while until i can get some raising of oil temp. 
       
      is putting weight on the lift going to change anything as far as a test goes? i figure if it goes up and down, is quiet doing so and doesn't leak, I'm 99 % there....
      is there any way to check to see if it is loosing pressure when it gets warmer?
      can a gauge be hooked up and is this easy enough to do?
      is it even worth finding out the pressures? what will having them tell me?
      is this a good enough way to test the whole hydro system? i think it will tell me at least if its working and if there are any leaks. i don't have a working engine that i can just throw in there to drive it around without puling one of my old starter gen motors from an unrestored 1277. i know this is probably the best way, drive it and get it nice and hot to be sure. i could swap it out from one of the other 1100s but then i got to deal with hoses etc and not really interested in pulling apart good working systems and opening other cans of worms.
       
      while it was running, and over the noise of the engine in the 1848, the pump seemed to be very quiet, quieter than the other 2 1100 tractors are. both of the other 1100s work well and aside from one having a leak in the lift, they both are leak free. 
       
      ao at this stage i am happy with how things are going. just wondering if there was some expert opinions to help me on my way with some ideas.....
       
      thanks in advance for any input, fire away guys.....

      Does anyone know where I can get a Routing Diagram for an LT-1100 3-Speed Drive Belt.  I'm looking for the routing diagram for the drive belt that runs from the engine to the transmission.  Any help would be appreciated.

      Will a tiller for a 5xi work on my C-175 without having to do any modifications?
