GDay. I haven't been able to find a thread that addresses this so I thought I might ask myself. I replaced the oil pump of my carbie RB42 and it doesn't want to self prime, I'm getting zero oil pressure when I run the motor. I don't wish to run it for a length of time without oil so I'm wondering how I can go about priming. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

generally you should fill the pump with oil before fitting, and make sure you fill the filer with oil before fitting as well
