Does this engine have an oil pump? Many engines even though full of oil burn out on inclines because oil does not reach vital parts.

And "oil pump" ?Not sure about that. It's and Honda engine, that's pretty much the best engine you could have for a lawn mower. If you follow the recommended maintenance and maybe use the best synthetic blend of oil ( Amsoil, Opt 4, or Mobile 1) I don't think you would ever have a problem with lube.

You have to pump it until it get hard to pump. Make sure that you do not have the oil going up the tube. Have it on a flat surface and pump it until it get hard and make sure that you do not over fill it either or it will not pump. There is a line that tells you how much oil to put in. Hope this helps you.

No oil provided..No oil needed..this is the pump that attaches to the power-washer motor/engine.

There is not a low oil cut off on the engine I purchased. I just check oil at each refueling to be safe. Fuel tank included runs for 1.5-2 hours depending on load. To date the engine has not consumed any oil. Great engine!

My model (looks the same) only has an on/off switch. It would keep running even if all the oil was gone. VC

The oil comes out steady until the end when pan is empty then spurts due to air. The pump out is pretty fast and tube needs to be anchored. DAMHIT

since you drop the body of the pump into a gas can for normal usage (pumping gasoline) there is no inlet hose small enough to insert and extract oil from an engine. Even if the body were modified to take an inlet hose there is no guarantee the heavier viscosity of oil would not damage the pump.

we have several of these pumps and although it is possible to draw some oil from a system during any 400 to 600 micron system we consider this the best pump we have used. The pump has oil, the system has oil so oil can be an issue. I suggest you review your hookup and operational process before going further. Also the longer the hoses the more oil can be extracted from the system during evacuation. Lesser CFM pumps never pull hard enough to be problematic. We never use more than a 7 cfm model because of this situation. You could have a problem. We suggest you speak with a Yellow Jacket factory rep.

I cannot find any need to oil the pump as it appears to be a completely sealed unit. Have been using for a couple of months without a problem.

Yes there is motor oil in the engine for lubrication. The oil should be changed yearly. You use regular gasoline in the tank. This is a four stroke engine and you DO NOT mix 2 stroke oil with the gasoline.

won't hurt, but most pumps come prelubed. just don't run it without water ever and oil.

double checked the manual, does have a low oil shut off, will not start back up until oil is added.

The old pump that I replaced had to be filled. I filled it with oil but it still didn't work. The new had no place for oil and appears to be sealed. I have run it for 30+ hours and it is still working great. I still question if it could be filled but assume that it doesn't need oil out of the box.

If u need a return to tank, most fuel pumps can do that. But with your carb, it's not necessary

There is not low oil level cut off. They recommend check oil level before start (daily). Oil drain you need to twist and pull to be able drain oil plus you need to take yellow cap off. I have B&S; for over 10 years, servicing myself and never hear this oil drain open accidently. If you close this properly will stay close. Last year i have bad oil leak was from air breather on fuel pump. But this was because gasket on valve cover and gasket under engine head was leaking. Positive pressure push oil from fuel pump. I was loosing for 1h working 1/4 l of oil. I dont know what problem you have but good luck. There is not low oil level cut off. They recommend check oil level before start (daily).
