Do you have a question about the Command PRO EFI Series and is the answer not in the manual?

last summer I broke my oil filter housing on my command pro 38 hp efi motor. I ordered the correct parts, dis assembled and put everything back exactly the way it came apart. the motor was shut down instantly upon the accident. when I fired it back up, the oil light stayed on, and it slowly ramped up to the desired rmp. it has about 3/4 of the power it had before this took place. I shut it down and it is pumping oil, the oil filter was full of oil. this motor is on a woodmizer sawmill. I noticed when I took the top end of the motor off that I had many bare wires, which I taped up. wires were still in tact. could there be a short somewhere that i causing this? is the oil pump electric or mechanical? I am pretty mechanically inclined, but am slightly stumped.

The context does not specify whether the oil pump on the Kohler Command Pro 38 HP EFI motor is electric or mechanical. However, Kohler engines typically use a mechanical oil pump. A short in the wiring could cause electrical issues, such as sensor malfunctions or false oil light warnings, but it would not directly affect a mechanical oil pump's operation or cause reduced engine power unless related sensors or the ECU are affected.
So, the oil pump is likely mechanical, and a short in the wiring could cause oil light issues and possibly reduced power if it affects critical engine controls.
