Bleeding the oil pump and lines?

Bleeding oil pump
1. The oil supply hose must be filled with oil to bleed the
pump.
2. Remove the following components:
• Drive belt
• Oil tank/clutch cover assembly
• Air box assembly
• Throttle body assembly from the intake adapter
plate
3. Loosen the bleed screw (A). Verify a stream of oil
flows from the bleed screw.
4. After bleeding oil pump, secure bleed screw and wipe
up oil residue.

Oil injection line priming
To prime the oil injection hoses follow these steps:
1. Locate the oil pump linkage rod end on the top of the
throttle body.
2. Obtain a length of wire (coat hanger) with a small hook
on one end.
3. Hook the oil pump linkage rod on the throttle body.
4. With the engine compartment doors closed, have an
assistant start the engine. Pull the linkage upwards to
set the oil pump to maximum flow. Continue doing this
for a few minutes.
5. Stop the engine. Inspect the oil injection hoses for air
bubbles. If there are air bubbles greater than one inch
in length, repeat step 4 until they are pushed out of the
hoses. Air bubbles less than one inch in length are
permissible, but you must verify they are moving
towards each oil injector when the engine is running.
The fact that the air bubbles are moving through the
hoses indicates that the pump is properly bled

What kit are you putting on?

To bleed the pump, I just yanked the silencer out and was able to reach it that way....

Diddo, I think it is a 10mm. I use a gear wrench to make it easy. Set a rag under the pump and bleed it until satisfied all the air has escaped...

Just put the RKT kit in, had a bubble in the top of the oil line right at the tank, all I did was squeeze as much of the line between my fingers and thumb as I could a bunch of times, forced to air back into the tank and draws oil back into the line. About 5-7 squeezes and the bubble was gone.
