Bought a new oil pump for this waverunner. Lines are clear - not blocked. Need to know the best way to get the oil feeding into the air intake. It obviously takes too long waiting for it to "climb" its way through the hoses up to the intake. My guess is to unhook each hose one at a time and manually fill them and then reconnect. Is this the best way?
Also, while watching the oil being pumped for a couple seconds with motor running, it seemed to be a very slow pulsation type movement. Is this the way it's supposed to work?
Don't really want to go back to pre-mixing, but I will if I have to. I just like the convenience of having the oil injected and besides... I've never had problems with oil pumps in the past like some riders seem to have. I also don't want to risk this motor if it doesn't pump correctly - I just don't know how to tell if it is pumping right or not???
Can anyone tell me what signs to look for in a correct oil pump flow and in a malfunctioning flow (versus the obvious of no flow at all)?
