Strange low oil sensor

[rcx132]

Does anyone recognise how this "low oil sensor" works? Does it fit inside the crankcase?

That's the oil alert unit, the oil sender float switch is inside the crankcase.

When I click on the link you give it all comes up in chinese text. Same happens when I try to log into Aliexpress - have bought stuff from them years ago but attempts this year all result in the Chinese version - any sugestions why this is?

Change the default language setting on aliexpress - for some reason it was stuck in French for me the other day, was a PITA to change back as well as it didn't have England/UK/Great Britain listed under a selectable region.

I'd say at 15p it probably won't sense anything accurately!

I believe it's an on or off type of thing, not a calibrated sending unit
for a dash board gage.

It will sense when it's broken.

Oddly, on my iPad it comes up in English with a Union Jack top right so at least I now know where the language icon is!

That bolts on the outside, the switch is on the inside. Seen them on generators
