When we turn the key on..not starting it at this point..just turn the key on the oil pressure light SHOULD come on. Though maybe it was a bad bulb..got new ones and changed them..nothing. Checked the wire that clips on the top. Seemed very well connected and no corrosion. Before tearing anything off i am guessing the switch is stuck with the plunger in the up ( open ) position. I did a search and didnt find any threads about servicing/rebuilding them.. any pointers?? This is a 78 GS 750 E by the way..

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it. -
Take the wire off the oil sending unit and ground it anywhere and the light should come on. If it does it's the plunger or the block needs scuffed up to accept the ground.
If grounding it doesn't have the light come on you have a broken connection somewhere. -
By the BLOCK, are you referring to the circle rim where the oil is pumped up inside the recess? Or do you mean the case of the switch? I would think the bolts should effect a good ground to the unit..yes??MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

If the light comes on by grounding take off the whole unit with the two 10mm bolts and clean the contact on the plunger and take sand paper to the case where it contacts.Comment
