95XP oil pump issues

[airbornexp]

so last week i cleaned the carbs and added new fuel lines. at one point I dropped the carbs in the hull. no damage but i think that the oil supply line on the mag side got clipped. There is no damage to the pistons or case but I cant get the oil pump to pump oil up the new line that I installed. Any suggestions??

What are you doing to pump it up ??

Is the engine running ???

I do hope not!!!

You can run it with premix to make sure the oil pump is working.

when I first changed the line I did for a bout two seconds when I realized that it wasnt pumping then quickly shut it down. I installed a clear line. I tried to pump it by just turning the motor by hand with out the plugs in and still nothing.
I would like to go premix but its not an option. I have other family that borrow them sometimes and cant trust them to mix it correctly.

Premix fuel in tank,start engine,move oil pump arm to full open & the oil will start to pump.

Its not gonna do it by spinning the motor by hand.

thanks worx. whats the premix ratio? Its going to smoke a lot with double the oil right?

[water worx]

50-1 is fine for what your are doing,it may smoke a little more.

Thanks for the help Dan, I got it working now. the only issue that i have now is a small air bubble at the barb that will not pass on the mag side. I tried pushing it through but it wont go...any ideas?
