Is the drill working hard to turn the pump?
When the pump isn't primed, the drill will spin fairly quickly. As pressure start to build the drill slows down. In fact, it can yank itself out of your hand if you're not careful.

If the drill loads up like the pump is working, pull the oil sending unit at the back of the block. Spin the pump again and it should spray oil like Old Faithful.





The drill will be loaded. I used a 1/2" drive on my motor and it just about ripped out of my hands. Also make sure you are spinning the drill in the right direction. CCW if I recall. And, per above, once you are pumping oil, have a helper slowly turn over the engine. The lube in the pump is a good trick for the first time. But once the pump has primed, you should be OK.
