I did not notice any other problems, but will have to search for other loose connections. The battery had a full charge when the day started. Unless it was getting drawn down from some other source, I dont know why the voltage would be low. The odd thing was that besides the flickering the unit would start up by itself without pushing the on/off button.

Ok, I havent been to there website yet. I always start here first, seem like everyone here is very helpful and knowledgeable.

So the only thing I have to do is diconect the sensor wire
from the oil reservoir, plug the oil hose that runs to the motor and remove the oil reservoir. I dont need to change anything on the motor itself. Then just mix oil in gas tank. Sorry about all the questions but Im trying to do this without taking it to a dealer.

Thanks for all of the input. It would be nice if it was only the reservoir cap that was plugged. That would be the easiest fix. I will check that first.
