refilled it right away but light did not come on to warn me so i didn't know till it died. now it runs for a minute and stalls, doesn't seem to be suckin on the oil. Do i need to prime it some how?? when i couldn't get it to run long enough to get off the mountain, even after I added oil, i had to add a little to the fuel as i figured i'd rather gum up some injector parts than burn up.
Any experience and or suggestiopns would be much appreciated!

If it died from no oil it is time to rebuild it. Give it a compression check and it will answer that question. MOST of the time when run out of oil the top end seizes before any bottom end damage occurs, but still should be checked out. Yes the oil system should be bleed out before using it. Feel free to call if you have any questions. (360)658-1288 Tony
