Priming the oil pump - oil quantity

On my front mount 8N im trying to prime the oil pump and have the plunger and spring out.

I can only get 1 squirt of 90w into the relief valve orifice before oil runs out the threads.

Is this amount usually sufficient to prime the pump? Also have a new spring; which is shorter than old spring - guess old spring was stretched?

Derek advised flat spot on plunger was normal.



Thanks for comments

Don't take much oil to prime the pump since to prime it your wetting the gears that are the pump
