Oil alarm beeping at low RPM

[rphillips]

A while back I had a power pack go bad, till then all was good. I had the bad one replaced and ever since the oil alarm beeps till I raise the rpm to nearly 1200... 1200 rpm is quite a bit too high for idle... Is there a simple fix???? Everything else working fine

1st thing I would do is to get a gauge and measure the oil pressure . Low oil pressure at idle can be a sign of bad things and you would want to know . It could also be the warning beeper playing up , either way a oil pressure test will tell you

Could you explain what motor you have.-----Year / power / serial #

Sometimes this issue may show up from things such as oil level not completely topped off in the bottle/s, a failing sensor inside thinking it’s low on oil, air in the oil flow system, top cap bottom sealing rings damaged, etc., loose caps, cap diaphragm vent bad if applicable, kinked hoses, or maybe the oil system needs priming again.
