Problem with initial valve adjustment after rebuild
leadnavel:
Thanks K2-K6, the engine is on the bench, would using the kick by hand be enough to circulate the oil?

Yes it should do that fine with kickstart, it's just getting the oil through the pump head that's stopping it.
It shouldn't take that much to see the oil like that and once the pump has no air in it, it can easily pressure the rest of the system without problem.

I took the oil filter off and used the kickstart to get the oil moving but nothing came through so I used the spare oil pump sprocket on my cordless drill to get some consistent revolutions but still nothing coming through. I keep refilling the sump with engine oil but that just gets pumped back to the oil tank.

Have you got the oil pressure switch fitted?
K2-K6:
Worth checking basics then as it should be doing something.
First would be supply hose from tank to see if it's impeded, then remove pump to inspect internal and verify passage from feed hose down to pump.
