When running its a intermittent dribble then a square nothing dribble squirt again kind of thing
its by no way a car oiling system no spray pressure maybe cold start but not always
open the cap and look

Did you pull the line off that feeds the pump? Make sure theres nothing in the tank blocking the drain? What weight oil you running? Did you pull a button off the rocker arms to see if your getting flow to the head?
I believe air in the return would be normal with a dry sump, wouldnt it?

The tank was spotless and I just did an oil change so tank should have no obstructions. But i will check again for the hell of it.
I am running 60 weight oil. Straight 60W
I have not pulled the bottom off the rocker arms. Do you mean the oil feed line that goes to the rockers? I am going to pull them and check for an obstruction I doubt there is one but That will settle concern.
The amount of air in the return is unusual to me but I am not familiar with these motors and am just learning. The oil is extremely aerated.
Can you post videos on here? I will post a picture of the returned oil here when I fire it up tonight or tomorrow.

Ok john I did not know this. Thank you for this info.
I also feel like a dummy now though because this makes sense with the way the return is set up and the screen is in the return.

Where at the tappet screen as previously stated or should I get one and tie it in somewhere else like the sensor port or somewhere else.?
I think I am going to get a lower range gauge so I can monitor the running or warm pressure more than the cold start pressure.
Recommendations?
