Racka Racka II

[dwight hinton]

Donnie,

Sorry I have been out of touch for a while.

I have now replaced the oil pump and its associated check valve, but the racka racka's continue to haunt me.

As crazy as it sounds, we are contemplating installing a delay switch on the ignition to allow the engine to be "turned over" thereby pressurizing of the oil lube system prior to actually starting the motor.

While I know I have gone over the edge now, Is there any downside to this adventure?

PS, REvbond mentioned the air pump. While it doesn't seem like the air pump, how can i check it to be certain.

PS, I may have duplicated this under the previous Racka Racka thread. If so, please forgive.
