I have just reached engine start stage but have no indicated oil pressure. I primed
and started with a flashing 145 in the oil pressure window. All other readings
were as expected. I shutdown before 30 seconds and investigated, everything
secure, re primed the oil, with the same flashing 145.
Any ideas out there? Scared for my engine (52 years retired engine man).

Alan - can't help with digital instrument readouts.
But if you pop the top plug out of each pot you will be able to turn the
engine over fast enough on the starter to see the oil pressure rise.
Good luck

Hi! Alan,
Suggest you take out a plug from all cylinders and run it on the starter
until you get pressure to ensure all systems are flushed full with oil. Then
replace the plugs and try another run after you got the pressure on a gauge.
What engine is it ? ..........Hydraulic tapits perhaps need the chambers
full? Have you bled the oil cooler? And pressured up the oil tank with a
bike pump ?
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Perhaps a bad or faulty sending unit.
