Green light on!

[Greg Merritt <gregm@vwtype3.org>]

Hi folks...

	My wife called this morning w/ the '69's green light on--it came on
right when she pulled onto the road this morning, and she pulled it over
right away.  It had run a minute or so just fine before that.

	I had about an hour to look into it, before taking off for a day
out of town.  Here's what I found:

	o  It's got oil, and there are no visible leaks. (good)
	o  If I ground & "open" the lead to the pressure switch, I can get
the light to flash. (good)
	o  Tried a known good pressure switch; light still on. (bad)
	o  Turned over w/ starter, coil disconnected, oil pressure switch
removed; about 10 seconds.  No oil poured out. :(  (Engine cold--is this
just the oil cooler getting bypassed?  I've got a dual relief case.)
	o  Got a Berg full-flow w/ the ~100psi(?) bypass pump cover.
Removed the filter & cranked the engine over a few seconds; oil dumped out
at the filter fitting!  Not gobs, but would have made a mess had I not put
a bag under it.  (good)

	It's only had one oil change since the rebuild--at a couple of
hundred miles.  It's been, I think, over a thousand since then.  Could the
filter have become clogged?  (It's actually got a small Bosch filter on
there, not the Fram--don't ask.)

	Tomorrow afternoon I'll try a new filter, then look next to
malfunctioning in the Berg special relief oil pump cover.  (How do I do
that?)

	Any ideas?!?
