Honda BF25 Oil Light flickers

[orangeTANG]

Have a 2000 Honda BF25 outboard that the oil warning light constantly flickers. As the engine revs it continues to flicker, but does so faster, as if its keeping rhythm to the motor. I checked the wiring and it looks nice and clean. I haven't checked grounds yet.

Do these lights normally either stay on or stay off? Is the flickering something mechanical or likely electrical related & false alarm?

Any help would be appreciated where to check next.

If OB has the right amount of oil in crankase, seems oil pressure unit is already kaputt, try a new one...

Happy Boating

I think the green light is supposed to stay on. Check your manual.

Yes, many of the smaller 4 strokes have a green light that indicates good oil pressure.
