Where is the oil pressure sensor located on an st165 and is there a way to check that it is working correctly?

The sensor is loacted on the front driver side of the head. It looks like cylinder that is about as tall as 1/2 its diameter. It has pipe threads on one end (threaded into the head) and a wire on the other end.

To confirm its reading you unscrew the sensor and screw in a mechanical oil pessure testing unit and get a real pressure reading from that.

Is your oil pressure gauge not working? If so the first thing I would check is to see if the wire fell off the sending unit.

Thanks Jason. Yeah the oil pressure gauge is reading nothing. Where is the sending unit located and what should I be looking for?
