When I push the gas on my machine the red oil light comes on and when I let go of the throttle it shuts off why would it do that

, usually due to a leaking fuel line or malfunctioning fuel injectors. However, it is normal for a small amount of gas to get into the engine oil during normal engine operation.

fuel ? clogged ? spark plug fouling ? bad fuel in tank ? remove gas cap and lightly smell the fumes from gas tank it will smell sour or stale if bad. has foul odor. drain old gas add new clean fuel.fuel additive good investment if not run everyday.good luck

To get a good answer you will need to re post with make, model, and year of your ATV. Also engine size if it comes with more than one.

Hi Curtis:
Considering the age of the machine I'd be looking at basic maintenance first. Things like air filter, fuel filter, carb condition, spark plugs, oil and oil filter change. Then start thinking about valve condition and clearances.

Fred, Oil sensor has shut down ignition safety. Dealer will have to scan and repair.

2 cycle oil wont hurt it a bit,drain the gas out and start fresh,oil is good for a motor,smell the gas,it may smell bad,which means the oil and gas have congieled

My lawn tractor with a Kawasaki engine had the same problem. I found that the linkage for the gas throttle had a lot of dirt on it and would not let the throttle close completely. So when I shut off the warm engine, gas leaked into the cylinder. It would take a lot of cranking to start. When it did start, the exhaust put out black smoke.

Have you checked to see if you are getting spark at the plug? Look in your manual to see if there is a low oil pressure safety shut down switch that has to be reset.

when engines not running turn the gas off . And it sounds like you need to adjust your throttle pin that goes into the carb take the clip off the pin and move it down one good luck

check your oil filter, blow air through the lines to the rad. make sure the motor isnt running lean too. (red hot exhaust)
