    Oil pressure and kick stand lights stays on?

    Just got my 1982 GS750E back from a carb rebuild and oil pressure light and the kick stand light are staying on. I pulled the spring off the kick stand and notice that when I acutated the switch from full out to full in, that the dash light indicator for the kick stand dimed somewhat, but did not go out.
    I have not yet pulled the air box and battery out yet to check the connectors but would like to have a heads up if someone knows what could cause this problem.
    Note: carbs were rebuilt due to a carb float being stuck open and flooded the enging case with fuel. Filter and oil change completed as well.
    Thanks Jon

    A common cause of the crankcase filling with gas is a bad petcock. Sorry no advice on the lights.

          My mechanic found a float suck open and when he said that he drained the oil, he had about a 3/4 of a gallon of gas mixed in with the oil. He is an excellent engine mech but he did not know about the dash lights.
          Thanks for you reply, I really do appreciate it.
