the float on the Low Oil Shutdown System). Then re-‐‐plug the wires to the terminals
on the Low Oil Shutdown Sending Unit.''

John,
Disconnected the Low Oil Sensor Diode, and attempted to start, but no success. Engine didn't have any indication to start.
I know it's getting spark, because in previous attempts, after shooting starter spray into plug cylinder and in-take of carb, it did start for a few seconds before dying.
Only thing I haven't done yet, is remove entire Carb and soak in carb cleaner and inspects all ports and jets. More to come......
