Pull all the sparkplugs out. Loosen the oil filter a turn.
Pull the plug off the CAS.
Spin the engine with the starter for thirty seconds or less and see if any oil comes out the filter. No oil? Too bad.

Pull the front cover off and examine the oil pump and the chain that turns it? Yes. Not easy.
What your looking for is, is to be sure the woodruf key has not fallen off the oil pump shaft when it was installed. No woodruf key means no oil pump action.

and don't let the thrust bearing drop off the assembly while you're in there!
