« on: November 12, 2004, 02:50:57 PM »
Hey guys.. k i just re-did all my oil lines for my cooler and filter. in the process i emptied out the oil... after that it started to run very very choppy... a guy i know said that sometimes after an oil changed the oil doesnt get right through the engine.. you have to pre pump it or sometyhing.. ive never heard anything like that before.. sounds like a dumb ass question... but if thats not it.. you knwo why it would be running so shitty compared to before.. unless my carbs need to be reset... but they were just done.. so im kinda stuck.. and its pissin me off... thansk for the help

The only time you have to prime your system is after a fresh build. If all you are doing is an oil change, first fill your filter with oil (about a litre) and then fill your engine. I wouldn't think that could do anything to make your car run rough. Maybe you put something out of sync or messed up some electrical when you were redoing you oil lines. Check you timing, valves ect...
