We just completely rebuild a '99 600 engine and we are running premixed fuel right now for the breakin but we cant get all of the air bubbles out of the oil injection line (goes from the oil pump to the oil tank). Does anyone have any ideas on what to do because we don't want to run just on the oil injection alone until everything is right?
Thanks in advance.

on my 900 cat i would get a coat hanger , hook onto the oil lever and pull it wide open while running the sled on a track stand.

there should be a bleeder screw on the front of the pump. You need to get the air out or it wont pump!!!!!!!!


After its bled out, then hold the arm full open and make sure the motor is getting oil (should start pouring smoke out after 10-20 seconds).
