I have determined that my Oil pressure sending unit is bad. I did the whole oil purging process. 10-15 psi air pressure in the overflow, blocked the ?In? on the oil tank, removed the top spark plugs, filled the oil cooler and lines, and turned prop over 100 times fast, and nothing. No indication of pressure. I also tested the wires from the sending unit back to the Skyview. Everything was fine with the wiring.

As a last test, I removed the Oil pressure sending unit and applied air pressure to the unit. Nothing, no indication on the Skyview. So, at this point I need to replace the sending unit.
Questions:
Since this is a new engine bought from Vans, do I contact Vans to get a replacement under warranty or do I contact Rotax?

Beware that some time last year Rotax changed from a honeywell sensor to another vendor and from a 1/8 NPT thread on the Honeywell unit to metric threads on the newest sensor. So you have to ask yourself,how long have you had your engine?
