why do my Milodon pumps ALWAYS prime themselves?
They'll prime themselves alright ... how LONG it takes to prime is the issue! The engine should have pressure almost instantly when it fires. If the pump takes a couple seconds to prime and build pressure then there's potential for wear in the motor.
So you solved "your" problem by sealing a leak. Great! But that's not the most common cause for loosing the prime.
Some of mine have primed in 1 second.
In many cases it IS leakage.
A lot of it has to do with a persons experience with the oil system. Nice flowing oil lines such as the ones Andy posted below go a long way on getting them to prime as well as ensuring everything it tight and leak free(SEALED).
There is a constant in all this..Milodon oil systems can be a pain in the rear(or bottom end).
