ive just been out and started it from cold and the follower is still taping with 40-50 psi of oil pressure so that has gone without doubt. The funny thing is the oil pressure gauge reads 90 PSI for 10-20 secs when i start it and then drops down in stages as if its sticking.. im wonder if the gauge is screwed.. Need to try another before condeming the pump i think.. Does anyone have one spare
