[Mgs] Oil Pump Prime HELP

[Rick Lindsay]

I'm paid to do right-angle science.  That's what we used to call thinking outside of the box.  My first thought is to ask; Is the pressure gauge working properly?  If it is an electric gauge you might want to check connections and even measure the resistance at the sender with an ohmmeter, before and as you crank.

regards,

rick
