We are about to fire a new 2056 and have tried to pump oil through the system prior to igniting. I have pulled the spark plugs and hooked up an oil pressure gauge. I can crank the starter for 30 seconds or so, but nothing registering on the gauge? More cranking?
Thanks |

As noted, hopefully there is some assembly lube on all the moving parts. Registering oil pressure just by cranking the starter isn't too likely due to the low speed and volume. You mainly want to make sure the oil galleries are full.
Probably better off to remove the gauge (depending where it sits) and hold a rag over the hole while someone else cranks it. Once you get oil flowing out the hole, you know the pump is primed. Put the gauge or sender back in, then fire it up. Just watch the gauge and make sure it registers in the first 5-10 seconds. |
