Low oil level?
Plugged or partially plugged oil pick up, gasket material partly blocking suction.
Half moon key fell out of shaft when oil pump assembled. I think someone on the list had that problem.

I am sure that others on the list can think of even more scenarios.

RV-9 Finish Kit arrived, someone at Van's gets wild with the staple gun when they close up that big box.  They must get paid by the staple.

She’s alive!

 

I had my first start today.  She sounded good, but the oil stayed at 3-4 PSI, so I shut her down.  I opened the line from the oil cooler to filter to see if I was pumping anything.  There was a little oil there, it didn’t gush out, but it was there. 

 

So now I have to figure out why I don’t have pressure.  I’m open to any ideas or suggestions.
