question about my honda clone engine

[dingo man]

i have a 13hp electric start power fist engine that i bought from princess auto and back behind the starter is what looks like to me a temp. gauge outlet senser but idk do some of those engines have sensers on them if not what could it be?

We need some pictures to tell you exactly what it is. If its wires coming out of the block then it's probably for the low oil cut off. If it's from the starter then it's probably for charging the battery.

Thanks

I just looked at one of those at HF the other day. If it is connected to a little black box with a yellow wire, it is the low oil cut off sensor.

here are the pic of it

Yea that wire coming from the hex plug area is the low oil sensor. They work well on utility stuff but on a kart sometimes hard turns and bouncing makes the motor shut off. The guys that race the clone motors cut the wires off so that can't happen.

Its a trade off... either check the oil frequently and cut the wires or leave them and have a possible stalling issue.

I just disconnect mines because my motor would stall when i go off-road.. But now i dont have that problem anymore. I would recommend to disconnect it and just check the oil frequently.
