Miller Bobcat 225 NT won't stay running

[jptech]

I have a Bobcat 225 NT with an Onan P216 that will start and run, but dies as soon as I let off the ignition. New ignition switch. Neighbor came over and ran a hot wire from battery + to coil +. It started up, and ran until he removed wire - didn't run it very long. He know's enough about small engines to try that, and I know even less than that. I'd really appreciate any help that anyone can offer! --------------------- John

Oil pressure switch. Or you have no oil pressure.

Thank You!! I bypassed the switch, it started right up and ran. ---------------------- John

Had that problem 3 times on the Onans, first and third time was the switch, second time nobody checked the oil level.
