 |
|
I've got the pump fitted up but I can't seam to get a follow of oil from pipes two and three, just a few air bubbles, pipe one is pumping ok.
Is there a set procedure for this? I tried revving the engine and holding the pump open full.
PS it's still running on pre-mix before you all start shouting!

Did you bleed the inlet pipe right up to the pump banjo?
I usually lift the pump and put a drill on the drive, then you can play all day with no engine running, the pumps can take ages to fully prime sometimes.
but yep, hold the lever fully open.

that should be doing the trick cabbie , i bleed mine through on idle and saw the oil line fill up almost straight away, check the banjos again they might need nipping up again
