No it had the same pressure before I changed the oil. I was going to run it some before I changed the oil but didn’t because of the low oil pressure. As soon as I got it started the first time the oil pressure was the first thing I looked at. I let it run a few minutes tapping on the gauge...

Just a FYI on the fuel pumps. Mine were totally gummed up so I took them off and took them apart to clean them. I couldn’t get the pistons out of them so I used compressed air on the top port to push the pistons out. I blew a little too hard and shot one piston and spring across my shop like a...

Can you just drop the oil pan without too much trouble on one of these? I’m just wondering is the oil pickup stopped up.

That’s what I was going to do is hook a gauge to the low oil pressure shutdown port but I’m going to have to get some fittings to hook it up there. I don’t think anything is stopped up but who knows. The low oil pressure switch is new so I think whoever had it was having trouble. It runs as...

I’ll just do straight 40 weight and see what happens. The oil pressure relief valve wouldn’t be stuck open some way would it?

The oil that came out was just real black. It seemed about the right viscosity. I don’t think it had any diesel in it. The oil filter didn’t have the spring in it so I found one that seemed about right that I put in there. I don’t think that’s the problem but I’m wondering now. I started it...

It’s got 1216 hours on it. It does have the desert paint on it. The air filter that’s in it looks good but like you say who knows what it’s been through. I’m just really bummed because it’s all there and makes good power and runs great just not much oil pressure. I didn’t give but 400 for it so...

I just bought it last week. Cleaned all the fuel system up and got the fuel pumps working. Changed the oil and it cranked right up but doesn’t have but 16 to 18 pounds of oil pressure. I tried a different gauge hoping the gauge was bad but it read exactly the same. It takes a while for the...
