First of make sure your bike is sitting level (not on side stand) and one thing i did with my 3AJ after an engine rebuild was to open the left hand inspection cover & pour oil in there to prime the pump.
I was having similar problems as yourself, so i just tried that method & it worked for me. Ive heard other guys just fire it up & hope for the best, id rather know there oil in the system.
Once i had done that i fired up the bike & unscrewed the rocker inspection cover to make sure it was lubing the camshaft, it pissed out everywhere but at least i knew it was getting oil to the top.
Mezo.
