Its A COLD WATER UNIT, JUST WANT TO CONNECT BATTERY AND PUMP AND START WORKING.

On mine the yellow wire is not used. I's a positive accessory wire. The green is the oil pressure safety switch and the white is a ground. Doesn't mean your is the same though. many different systems out there.

Danny you are right i hooked my hour meter to the yellow wire.

Yellow is accessory wire only has power when key switch is on. The green and the white need to be connected together for the low oil sensor to work.

Paul will it hurt to tie my remote into the low oil shut down for the kill button on the remote?

No when we install the Pump thermal shutdown we tie it into the white wire with one of those inline splicer t's.

Paul, One of my BS 18hp didnt come with a low oil sensor. How do I wire it in? I can install the sensor into the port at the filter bracket, but where to I run the wire to?

The wire runs to the grounding lug on the starter side. It is the lug with the black wire that is mounted in the little plastic insulator.
