'36 A oil pressure problems

[Lyric11]

I wasn't getting oil to the valves recently, found the tube was plugged, cleaned then tried without the pipe, still nothing! I took the governor cover off to find a bad bearing, replaced it & pulled the governor off cleaned inside the housing, little holes that feed mag bearing aswell as one spraying at the cam gear & cover bearing. Started it to find no change. It was reading medium on the gauge, changed gauge it reads about 6 pounds, where should it be, closer to 15? Thanks for any help, trying to have it running for our July 1st parade. Kevin

That is really low oil pressure.

That oil tube is attached to a tray that only picks up extra spray from inside the gov. housing. The oil will eventually drip down to your rocker arms, not run down.

Problem solved, cranked down the adjuster screw more. Thought I had it tightened rather good, but got what we needed out of it. Thanks, Kevin
