Oil Not cirulating threw motor!

[RayRay12]

77 Ironhead, I rebuilt oil pump put new Check valve in it! Oil is not circulating threw motor!! What else could it be?? one way valve on primary side is clear! all oil lines are where they are suppose to be!
I'm at a loss here! HELP!!!

Your feed and return oil line could be mixed up.  With a full oil tank and the bike straight up; does oil pump through?  If so your lines are mixed up.

after I did all that I seen the check valve was in pieces! I put a new one in! still nothing!!

so you too it apart again and everything good?
is oil getting to pump?  the home made pins?
take pressure sensor off pump and see if oil comes out.  you know.  gravety
air bubble? something clogged or pinched?
remove spark plugs...turn over.  prime the thing..
they pretty simple.
i usuallly take off a line to head and make sure oil is pumping.
prime prior to starting.  then check with finger in oil bag to feel return.

Haven't had time to get back to it yet!! too many other payin jobs to get done first!! I'm thinkin the check valve was preventing it from flowing!! I'll let ya know when I ever get back to it!

It's back together and running great except for one broken Spring! Pushrod or Rocker spring on top of pushrod! Lucky it's the Front and not the back!! If it was the Back?? I'd have to take the motor out just to get to it!

There is one trick that must be used to make sure the oil makes it to the oil pump every time one changes the oil. You keep the oil feed hose off of the pump as the oil gets put into the oil tank. Then when some starts out the hose you go ahead and hose clamp the hose to the pump. I tend to make sure the hose will slide in place and keep it lined up before this.
