If you have to, drain the engine tank and look for the sealing washer and
install a new one on your sensor screen. Also make note of the screen
positioning over the sensor assembly so it will not airlock the oil and keep
it from flowing. Yamaha does not have any type of warning system if the oil
is not reaching the pump.

I appreciate all your good advice about this. If you can't tell, I'm
a little bit challenged mechanically. Is the outside plastic tube on
the sensor the same thing as the filter you are referring to?

On my tank, the sensor does not seem to be connected in any way to the
bottom of the tank. Is the sealing washer to go around the cap?
