Oil

[Melvin J]

I'm in the final stretch of my build. Finally! Just wondering if I can prime my oiling system by kicking the bike over or if I have to actually start it to get the oil flowing. I kicked it over a few times to see if it would suck oil from the tank but no luck so far. I would think the pump would still work but how many times do I need to kick this damn thing to get oil through the whole system if thats the case

Thanks
Mel

till it gets "prime"

I would pull the line at the pump and let some come out as it can air lock and not pump then kick it a couple of time then fire it watch the return on tank . just loosen the clamp and pull on it to let the air out of the lines and oil comes out or you can starve it before it primes. good luck. gar

Thanks guys, I figured it was probably air in the lines I'll give a try tomorrow I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again
