not done that yet mate will do after ive got it running plus oil chane and gearbox oil change just in case there are any problems ie oil leaks they will show up more easier with old oil in :thumbsup:

If the motor has oil in it and you have not striped or rebuilt the motor or the oil pump you will be fine just using the manual priming tool,no need to pack the oil pump unless you have stripped it down. Packing the pump stops any air pockets causing lack of oil to circulate,so once you have primed yours you should be good to go, :thumbsup:

Make sure you have a fire extinguisher at the ready mine belched a load of petrol back up through the carb lucky the engine was cold . Have you got a return on the carb if not you will have to regulate the fuel flow that pump will over Power the carb
