Our Bug-Eye has been parked for at least three years; I pulled the engine/transmission last Spring to check out tranny problems and finally reinstalled it yesterday. Fired it up tonight and the oil pressure gauge is reading zero.
I expect that it's a gauge problem (no changes to engine; same filter as years ago; had drained oil prior to pulling and refilled after reinstall; no changes to oil filter) but would appreciate advice. Figure I'll break the oil pressure gauge connection at the block tomorrow and hopefully spray oil all over heck's half acre; maybe pull the valve cover and see if there's indications of oil there (we've also got a AH 3000, and this is a standard check for worn rockers, dunno if it applies to Spridgets).
There's no obvious noise problems, but I haven't heard it run for years so may be mistaken. And I surely do not want to ruin the engine.
Low tonight of about -1C/30F, with 2 to 4 inches of snow forecast. Hoping to drive it over to the car wash tomorrow prior to tucking it away for the rest of the winter. And then back to driving it in the Spring!
