I just replaced my remote oil system and oil pump hoses and everything seems to be functioning properly, but I can't get the oil line (about 1- 1/2" lg.)that runs from the pump to the fuel line to fill up with oil. The system has been bleed and oil is certainly flowing, but it just will not fill up more than half way. The old hose was full of oil when I took it off so I mut assume that the new hose should be full also. I ran the motor for 10-15 minutes to see if that would do it but it stays about half full and that's it. Any insight into this problem would be much appreciated.

Oil pump to the fuel injector system. I have seen so many turn to premix. I wouldnt trust an oil injector system. Bah humbug. Older Merc? Black Max haha? My favorite heart aches. <br />Capt " 4 strokes are so cool " Emmer
