Question HELP!... cant get oil to oil feed line

Alright... first off my motor has been sitting for about 2 years with no oil in it.

its back in the car.. and everything is hooked up.

Im turning the motor over with the plugs out, and the CAS out so it wont run or supply fuel.

I have used up 2 batteries on cranking the motor over.. and still nothing coming out of the feed line.

How long should this usually take????

what is needed to make the internal oil pump work? am i missing somthing


and i did alot of searching... my pick-up does have a gasket, its not clogged... i never cracked the motor so the pump should be fine. I just dont know at this point.

any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

How long did you turn it over for? It usually takes a little bit to get the pressure up.

i turned it over like 10-15 times... in 10-15 second intervals...

could their possibly be an air bubble around the pickup? or somewhere else, not letting it get good vacccuum

I replaced the oil injector lines on my FC earlier this year, then put some 2 stroke oil in the tank and drove it.

It was about 40 miles of driving IIRC before the oil made it to the injectors, which is normal.

Search on replacing oil injector lines in the FC forum, there's quite a bit about it there.
