Changed out the oil pump on my 2004 Ficht 175. I primed the oil pump by the primer bulb until oil came out of the return line. The 6 small clear lines are not filled with oil and have air in them. Do I need to bleed this out somehow or am I ok to start the motor?
pinched the reurn oil line, started it up and the little hoses filled up pretty quickly. everything seems to be good to go
I will check the service manual in the morning
I havent bled teh oil injection pump on a ficht, so not sure what they call for
I’m now at www.teamcharlestonmarine.com
thanks for checking on that chris!! DO you know if I would get any benefit from getting the Ficht disk and sevrice manual so I could hook my laptop up to the motor or would it be info that only a trained tech would know what to do with? I have seen some on ebay for about $70
