I recently saw a technique to test the oil injection on my P200 and I can't seem to locate that piece of information again. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

i always try to make sure i'm running a clear oil hose. Then you basically put a little bubble of air in the hose by disconnecting it for a second.

Then you reattach, start the engine, and watch the little bubble ( hopefully ) move towards the engine.

I recently had the airbox off , oil line disconnected, and checked the oil pathway under the gasket and I was wondering if it has to be primed like a water pump. I had read on a forum or "how to " about unhooking the throttle and some how revying it up and if it smoked alot it was good to go. I've googled it and just can't seem to find that article. Bummer! Maybe I'll try your bubble method.
