I know this has been beat to death but I'm looking for ideas.
I have a C85-12 on a clip wing cub. The oil pressure has been
great 45-50 at cruise 20-25 at idle.
I did the first oil change and now I can't get any oil pressure.
Here is what I have tried:
Lifted tail with nose within 5" of the ground, no luck.
Removed oil temp bulb and filled screen with oil, no luck
Tested gauge, it works, pumped oil in to case from oil pressure fitting, no luck.
Checked pressure relief valve for contamination and reinstalled
also pumped oil into pressure relief orifice before installing, no luck.

Does any one have more suggestions besides pulling the accessory case?

Thank's

Joe
