After soldering the tank and sealing it with por15, cleaning the carb, cleaning the points, and plugs, buying a cheap battery, and changing the oil and filter, it started right up. BUT the oil pressure gauge never registered any pressure. Tappets are in need of adjustment, lower engine sounds OK no unusual noises. it did not smoke except at start up it was black for a second then no visible exhaust. It has sat for many years, the drain oil was dirty but no water or sluge was noted. I put NAPA 10w-30 in it with a new napa filter.
Any hope of getting the pump to prime without splitting the tractor to repair the pump?
