The green light indicates oil pressure, but your story sounds like you have an electrical problem.Could be as easy as a loose or broken wire;I'd be inclined to pull the flywheel and start checking there for dirty connections, loose or cracked wires etc.Do you have a manual?

The two wires connected to the green light should give you a starting point; one goes to the coil& the other to the oil pressure switch.
