I am restoring a 1960 Ski Skif
I am restoring a 1960 Ski Skiff 21 foot 283 flywheel forward. I am going through the process of starting it as the owner said it ran before abandoning it 6 years ago. I had the carb rebuilt removed the valve covers and proceeded to crank it over . Multiple 1 minute intervals pumping old fuel out as I went. I have still not seen any oil pumping out of the push rods. Is this normal? Do I need to start it and watch because it takes some time and RPM to get the oil pumped through the system or am I missing something.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
