Manual oil pump priming handle?

[rocketboy]

I don't see what good it does any way. On the TRB engines, it just dribbles a bit of oil when pumped and I never could pump it hard enough to shoot any oil all the way to a bearing. I suppose on the bush engines it's another story.

I have the hole drilled and tapped. I just needed a good example to start with. I can build my own.
 Thanks Peter!

Picture of the only accessible pump that I could photograph at:

The other engine is less oily but needs rotating so the oil pump is away from the wall. I'll do that later in the week.

Peter....don't hurt yourself! Andre has a pretty good shot of one.....thanks anyway!
   Rocketboy.....you are right about the primer handle on the 6/1 with TRB's but I put a oil slinger on my crank that is fed from the pump, also added an oil filter and I want to be able to flush and prime the system before I feed it to the rod journal.....I may just use it after that so I can feel if it is working.
Thanks all

RB,
You are right! I finally got to the point of priming the system and was dissapointed with the flow!  I will close all of the delivery outlets except the one that will feed the oil slinger mod I made. There is plenty for that plus it will be filtered. I agree it was designed for main bushings not the TRB's
