I'm finally getting my generator project wrapped up.

I'm looking for ways for unattended shutdown in case of low oil
pressure
conditions. What would be the easiest and cheapest way to accomplish
this?

Either by shutting off the air or fuel supply? I'm sure you could use
some
kind of "fuel line solenoid" to cut off the supply of fuel. Any
ideas?

Yea, how do you stop your engine now? What exactly happens when you
decide "it is time to stop the engine"? You probably press some button
or pull some lever, and then what happens?

Thanks

Are you being a smart ass??? or am I reading your words incorrectly?

you are reading my words incorrectly. The reason why I asked you how
you stop your engine now, is that the automatic stop mechanism would
need to do a similar thing to what you do manually. For example, when I
want to stop my onan DJE, I disengage the switch that supplies
electricity to the holding coil of the fuel shutoff solenoid.

That releases the solenoid, makes the solenoid push on the fuel
control lever, which shuts down fuel. The engine stops in 2 or so
seconds. Hence, automatic shutdown mechanism is doing the same thing,
namely, interrupts electricity to the holding coil.

If your stopping mechanism is different, then you would need a
different solution.


Let me explain how my engine has the speed lever set, you slide the lev
er
down and tighten a knob (twisting) that passes through the lever. If I
was
NOT present to monitor the oil pressure and needed to shut it down to
prevent damage to engine, who would turn this knob to release the
lever?
You?

This is why I was asking on how to go about doing this task? What
method
would do the job and what parts could be used?

To know what method would do the job, it is important to know how the
job is done manually.

Then, let me apologize for any remarks that I wrote in regards to your
response. I'll post some pictures of the speed control on my engine
tomorrow.

Thanks.


Very gentlemanly of you to offer your apology. Ignoramus12712 is one of
the more polite people on the board and has shown very nice manners and
appreciates all concepts offered.
