Getting the oil round

<< < (2/3) > >>

Seamus:
Any idea how long it should take. I have flattened the battery spinning the engine and that light just shines back at me. I have been doing 30 second bursts with plugs out, then leaving for a short time for things to cool.

Thanks

Seamus

Bryanj:
It takes quite a while to fill all the galleries and the filter.

Use a car battery and jump leads

Seamus:
Thanks Bryan. Been using a car battery for help. Also put a litre of oil down one of the rocker holes. Left to stand for a hour and turned it over again. Pumped the oil back into the tank, but oil light stayed on. No oil at rockers (apart from the one that received a litre of oil). Repeated and stil the same. I'll give it a go for a bit longer, then I suspect the sump plate will come off to see what is not happening.

Cheers again

Seamus

SteveD CB500K0:
Are you sure that the oil pressure switch is OK?

Seamus:
It was working before the dismantle, so I expect that it is still working. To be sure, I took off the gallery plug and it was bone dry in there, so I filled it with oil. I also transferred about a pint of oil from the tank to the rocker and will leave it untill tomorrow for another try. I am away for a few days from Monday, so will not get to do much more till then, but I suspect the sump plate will have to come off.

Cheers

Seamus
