Re: oil pump
I am going to make an effort to start this motor soon. It has not been run for 4 years . Should I be concerned with the crankcase with this wet sump issue and resulting extra pressure or will the pump clear it quick enough? jerry

Re: oil pump
Put a cookie sheet under your engine and primary.
Kick it for a little while, the oil will push it's way out the breather then go back to normal.
Recheck your oil level in the tank. After that go through the starting procedure.

Re: oil pump
Thanks for the input . I am wading through the rear brake now. when it is sorted I will get it started. Having trouble locating a rear wheel cylinder rebuild kit. Any one got a part #.? One I got from a site search came wrong, so the search is ongoing jerry
