[DML] Re: Oil pressure problem

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You may need a minor tweak of the idle setting, and the mixture screw
to fix the idling problem. Check that the idle micro is tripping. For
the oil pressure you need to get the sender Marty M sells, it will
work correctly, not like the OEM piece. You may also need to clean and
lubricate the throttle spool, linkage, and throttle cable.
