I added an oil pressure gage today and I have a question for anyone who can help. I hooked it up as per the instructions but when the key is turned to on the gage goes to full pressure and only comes down to the actual pressure once the engine is running. Did I do something wrong? I was afraid to swap the power wire with the sender wire for fear of zapping the gage. The gage has three wires going to it; power from the ignition key, one wire from the sender and one wire from ground. The only thing I could think of to vary was the power and the sender wires. BTW, I moved the hour meter next to the oil filter under the side panel. It's not something that I need to watch as I mow. I also added some of that car edge moulding that is available at auto stores to the front side panel because it was constantly rubbing tha paint off. Since I had some of it left I added some to the side edges too. Next I'll put on a coon tail!
PS
That hour meter is the
new one I just bought
