Ok. So I have a 90 softail. I had my bike at a shop to put on a new s&s oil pump .
I got it back I had to run the lines. No biggie. Ran them primed pump .Fired right up .The issue is. I have no oil returning .All the lines are clear .No pinching .And double checked my line routing .Everything is correct. Any ideas .Thx

If I was going to have someone else replace my oil pump, I would have had all the lines connected prior to them doing their part, so they could check their work....
Simply put........If all the lines are run properly, with no pinching, and not plugged.... then you either have no oil, an internal engine blockage (cam plate/oil filter/etc), or the pump isn't working.......

More than likely your woodruff key fell out from your oil drive gear. That would be located inside of your cam cover.
I once messed with my oil pump and that little key come loose and fell out because nothing will stop the gear from sliding to the left once the oil pump is off/hence that woodruff key will fall out.
