“Low Oil Sensor Diode” to the right) located on the side of the engine block. Unplug
these wires and, only after ensuring the engine is full of oil, start the engine and
allow to run until warm (normally 20 minutes, as this will heat the oil and release
the float on the Low Oil Shutdown System). Then re-‐‐plug the wires to the terminals
on the Low Oil Shutdown Sending Unit.''

John....Great minds think alike !
I was thinking about the issue over-nite, and a light bulb popped and had the same thought "Unplug the low-oil sensor wires, then try to start'.
This may actually be the problem ???? Will try this solution and report back.
BTW, I don't have an Owner's Manual' with this unit, I bought a floor display and the store never provided.
Thanks again John M. !
