Hi
AFAIK the motor in the RV (VanVan?) is about the same as my A100. Haynes says you first need to bleed the oil delivery pipe 'by removing the cheese headed screw from the pump body allowing oil to drain through from teh tank, displacing any air'..
'If delivery lines are empty run the engine with the pump lever held fully open...'
Note that you should be able to see any bubbles in the delivery line(s) pulse forward as the system is purged. Might also be wise to run a bit of pre-mix at this point.
