Title: Blue 202 oil pump
Post by: Snow1 on March 26, 2012, 05:32:59 PM

Hi all,

the engine in my camper takes about 5 seconds to get oil pressure when first  starting it after it has been standing a few days.
Is this an oil pump issue that can be fixed easily?

Thanks

Snow

That sounds about right to me Snow. What i prefer to do is just crank the motor over without choke or pumping the accelerator just to start building up some oil pressure,then pull the choke and fire her up. I hate starting any motor and hear everything rattle before the oil comes up. ;D

And it could be the oil just lost its density, change the oil and filter. put some moreys in it , this leaves an oil layer up the top, so less wear on dry starts

Brand and C.C. rating on the oil makes a big differance too
