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?

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. |
