<div class="moz-cite-prefix">If at all possible fill up the oil
filter or oil filter housing before fitting it to the engine. OK,
a messy job. Letting it idle for a few minutes should do no harm
to the engine at all, but do not rev the engine or run it on the
choke.<br>

oil on my 100 and replaced the oil filter, then refilled the
sump to the correct level and restarted the engine to check
for oil pressure.</div>

<div class="gmail_default">After several seconds I became
concerned when the oil pressure gauge needle stayed pegged. I
also have a low oil pressure warning light, the sender for

normally attaches and it is staying lit. </div>

<div class="gmail_default">By this time I had run the engine for
at least 30 seconds and was becoming very concered, so I shut
it down, removed the valve cover and disconnected the banjo
bolt going to the rocker shaft, then restarted the engine--no
oil is coming out of the bolt.</div>

<div class="gmail_default">Thinking that perhaps the oil pump
lost prime I removed the flex hose from the coiled copper pipe
gong to the oil pressure gauge and back-fed some engine oil,
then reattached the hose to the line but on restarting again
nothing has changed.</div>

<div class="gmail_default">Though this has never happened before
I have heard of oil pumps not repriming themselves and/or
taking a while to do so after an oil change. I have already
run the engine for at least a minute in the several restarts

happened.</div>
