I have to bleed my oil pump, I read a procedure of holding the reverse button an thumb throttle, worse case I'll unhook it an use a power probe to run the pump my question is do I just pump oil into the motor during this bleed or unhook the lines? Any suggestions are appreciated

You need two power up harnesses. One for the SCM power connector and one for the DC Power connector.

Once both are plugged to a fully charged battery, hold the brake, reverse button and throttle and the pump will start pumping oil into the engine.

I did it three times to get the air out of the lines.

Are the power up harnesses available to purchase or can they be made easy enough? I will have to bleed my pump...

That’s what I did. Each time I turned the motor over by hand slowly using the clutch. My entire engine was out and rebuilt. I had quite a bit of air in the line.

After the pump started clicking/pumping I let go of the controls and shined a flashlight down there and could see the bubbles being pushed out.

It did smoke a lot...I’ve got 50:1 premix too.

The 800 uses a single base gasket which should be installed bead up. No sealant recommended.
