DWB 0 #1 Posted May 1 With the plugs out, and not connected to the hydro pump, will the starter turn the engine over fast enough to register oil pressure on a gauge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 17,581 #2 Posted May 2 It should pump oil so you may see some movement on the gauge needle. That's still a pretty low RPM What are you trying to accomplish? If the gauge is working or if the oil pump is working? Or? I have that same engine on a Roof 60 tractor and the engine runs with a working oil pressure gauge so I can check stuff like that for you.

DWB 0 #3 Posted May 2 Just reassembled one with a new rod and new piston and rings. Would like to verify the pump works fine before starting it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What about using the old filter and poke like a 1/4" a hole in it. Run the starter with the plugs out and it should pump oil out. Just catch it coming out of the hole. Just kinda think'n out loud for a way to verify it's pumping. I can pull the plugs on mine and see what the pressure gauge does just verify if it indicates pressure. It would be tomorrow later afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
