- You might try to prime the oil pump. If there is no oil in the impeller
- section of the pump, no suction will available to draw oil into the
- pump. On my motor, the pump sends the oil first into the filter. I removed
- the filter and poured oil down into the feed line from the oil pump.
- The oil pump immediately began to work as usual.
