Oil pressure
Hi guys,
I have a problem , bike is a 95 xt600e, new to me, changed the oil today with filter, took out 3 litres, put 3 litres back in and a new hiflo filter. Went to bleed filter housing and nowt came out ! Took the filter housing back off checked orings etc but filter was dry. Put it all back together, pulled the plug and spun her for ages on starter, filter still dry. Pulled clutch cover off and oil pump gears are perfect and engaged. Get air pushing out of vent and drain bolt on filter housing.
I am a bit experienced with xt 600's, i have a 84 600 kick start and withing seconds of kicking her over oil spurts out of the vent hole after oul and filter changes, and i have had many xt250's with basically same filter housing and general moter architecture and not had a problem like this. Do these things airlock ??
Now very worried that something bad has gone wrong !
Any help, advice gratefully recieved.
Mark
