Another user had this problem. It was something to do with his sensor he unplugged from the frame mounted filter. He went back and unplugged the sensor, cleaned it out and all was good.

Just make sure you prime the filter before attempting a start too. If not primed fully before a start, air can get in the system and trigger the false warning light. This was mentioned by another user in the thread.

I can’t find the thread but those 2 were the best and most useful replies.

could it also be due to water in the fuel?

pull a sample in a glass jar and let it sit a bit and see if there is water.

Perhaps don't run it until you see?

Did you complete the filter priming process after changing the filter?

I think someone else had an issue with the filter housing seating properly.
