Chris,

Did you check that the half-moon key stayed in place after installing the
oil pump gear?  You can check to see that it is in place with a bent
paperclip.  I've had problems getting the oil pump to prime after teardown.
You could try disconnecting the oil pump discharge line and hooking a vacuu=
m
cleaner to it while cranking the engine.  That could be enough to get the
pump to prime.  Or, slight pressure on the crankcase breather while crankin=
g
might also do the same thing.
