Kevin=2C
Yes=2C that is more like it=2C and it has a nice diagram also. I don't have
 a compressor and will make a fitting using a bicycle valve.The oil pressur
e reading was fine just before the oil change=2C so I don't think it is an 
instrument malfunction.Many thanks=2C

Hi Karl=2C
SI-912-018 is the what I meant to say. Purging of the 
lubrication system is needed if air got in the system. I've never heard of

connecting the in/out hoses together as you suggest.
Perhaps your oil pressure sender is at fault?

Hi Kevin=2C


  I think you meant SI-912-10. But it doesn't tell me what to do in my 
  case. I did drain the oil from the hose coming out of the bottom of the 
  engine=2C but have always done that before. I'll keep handcranking.

  Follow the Rotax Service Instructions    
  SI-912-020=2C SI-914-021    I get them at www.rotaxowner.com
  If you introduced air into the system and do not then 
  properly purge the system=2C severe engine damage could result.

I don't usually have a problem with getting the oil 
    pressure back after an oil change=2C but this time I seem to have an ai
rlock. 
    I was going to bypass the tank and connect the in/out hoses together 
    and crank the engine for a few seconds (I am not using ignition).
    Is that okay ?
    Thanks for any input.
    

    Karl
