Green Light on Honda Engine?

[dbear1959]

Is the green light on a 10HP Honda a temperature gage (green being OK, red being hot), a charging light to show engine is charging batteries/accessories etc., or an oil pressure gage? I've been told all three & dont have the manual yet.


Also should I have a constant stream coming from the weep hole or is a mist/tickle, or a few drops ok? Previous owner says impeller was replace last spring and tech told him that he wouldn't have a constant stream. Owner thinks the green light is a temp light and if engine heats up it will turn red?

If I should have a constant stream & it has a new impeller what gives?

It is an oil pressure indicator signal.

The light is for the oil and if you don't have a stream you might have a clogged hose try to stick a wire up in the hole and see if it clear the passage.did you try in the water or with muffs?
