I know there are many posts on how to bleed these 951 oil lines, but can't find anything on my specific situation, so here goes. I replaced oil tank, lines (in and out) and filter. Below is the bleed process I followed. Issue is that the short output line won't bleed. I'm getting some oil through it. but after running the engine 3-4 times for about a minute each, still has mostly air. The long line pushed the bubbles out on the first run. I even tried clamping off the long line to maybe force some more oil to the short one. No better. No visible air in the input line or long output.
Procedure so far:
-Let input line flow oil and then clamped off just before connecting to pump.
-Opened bleed screw for a few minutes which cleared remaining air in input line.
-Shot some oil in carbs
-Held pump wide open
-Started and ran for 1 min (3-4 times)
Any ideas on why one line only won't bleed. My logic based on symptoms is that the pump is pumping (long output line full) and air is not coming from inlet fitting (only one output line has air). Maybe I nicked the short output line at the pump nipple? Is there something internal to the pump itself that would explain this behavior?
