Not much I only let out about less then a 1/8 cupGlad you figured it out. How "overfull" was the oil. Just curious for future reference.

One reason I brought it up is I've worked on a lot of small engines that had a kill switch built into the throttle as well as a separate one... They were actually wired together but either one alone could ground out the electrical system to kill the engine.It has an electric kill switch. The throttle has nothing to do with shutting the unit down.
Welcome to AS comprehension isn't a lot of folks strong suit.Been running fine since I let some of the oil out. Ran it for 2 hours yesterday with no issues.
Like I said I checked everything before I posted. Thanks for the help but it seems somre of you posted without reading the whole thread.
Plus 1 ,a lot of mine have been disconnected due to issues.I've seen them oil sensors become erratic, operate ok then go on a intermittent shutdown.
Seeing the oil level too high gives me a heads up that it may be thinned out/contaminated with gas which will upset the viscosity of the oil and the float level on some eq.
If it starts acting up again I would disconnect the oil level sensor wire, make a test run and if ok then order a replacement switch. Lots of my equipment does not even have a oil level sensor and I always check the oil level each time I re-fuel a small 4 cycle engine with gas. I trust doing this visual more than I put trust a low oil level sensor for protecting the engine.
A name, model and type number from the engine would be helpful so as to give more detailed troubleshooting info.
