I crossed over your posting there.With the Vaseline, it'll only cause a vacuum and not go through the pump generally. You need to make sure the oil is getting from tank via oil line to pump entrance, if so then the Vaseline will pull the oil through with the vac it causes but if you spin the pump first before oil is available then it may not work.
I would not try running it until you have addressed the kick start problem, the cog wheel on the kick start can lock and then lock the engine via the clutch.
Trigger, that was before wrapping and whilst it was relatively straightforward it was switches from two models (LH and RH different) loom from another and bike a third so just about nothing except block connectors were a plug n play, still all keeps the grey matter working!!
Before fitting any engine you have to check that the engine turns freely via the kick start and every gear can be selected under load.There are many problems if the oil pressure is not building up on a 750. It can even be a 0' ring at the wrong size or missing.
