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

What @Superhawk996 and @fixer34 said. On my 2056 it took probably 3 x 30 second tries. Assume you're using break in oil, right?

Straight 30 Wt, non detergent

I did not pre fill the oil filter, but will pull it today and fill it.

Some of the gurus here say not to pre-fill the filter. It is down-stream from the pump and might make it harder to get the pump sucking from the case.

For my break in oil, I also used straight 30, and also added a zinc boost.
