New here. I just finished rebuilding my sons gy6 50cc and installed the new oil pump that came with the kit. Question: Can the oil pump pump oil through the engine with just the starter turning the engine? I have been trying to see if the oil pump is working before I actually start the engine and rev it up and have not seen any oil come up to the head after a few tries turning the engine over with the starter. Did I need to prime the oil pump before installing? Thanks all for your help in advance.

Yes, prime the pump. Here is a link that may help. It is a 150cc GY6 oil pump issue with how to test the pump in the second post.

Thanks so much for the quick reply...guess I'll have to tear the engine back down...it is a new pump but did not see any oil being pumped up to the head while I had the valve cover off. Also left the spark plug off so I could get higher rpms out of the starter to no avail.
