Sometimes after they sit for extended periods, the oil primer bulb needs a squeeze. That might be all you need to do to correct it. You miight not even feel it depress, but give it a try before you do anything more drastic.

Drain the carburetors and see if the gas is colored like the oil, or just like the gas. For now, mix oil in the gas tank until you fix the problem. But if there is already oil in the gas, it will have color.

Disconnect the wire plug to the gas / oil pump. If the light goes off, the pump has a problem. If the light stays on, the oil tank has a problem.

Sometimes the pump and the tank are good, but the gauge is bad. Disconnect the pump and the tank wire plugs and if the light is still on, the gauge is bad.
