low warning light

[talstar]

What would cause the low warning light to come on my smc alky kit when its full?

Use "Search" button at the top.

drop Steve C a note. Some of the kits have had problems with low level sensors that go bad.

Take the top cap off and look inside.

There is a float on a tube below the green and white wires.

Check to see the float is floating on the alky. and not being blocked by the pump wires inside the tank.

Tap it gently a couple of times with a wooden dowel or whatever you use to stir in the lube in the tank.

I use an old wooden flag stick about 1/4" round.

Might reset the LED for you.

Another common problem is wet contacts. If you washed your engine or spilled alcohol on the contacts your low level light will stay on until its dried out.

Must have just been wet. Its not on now.
