PRE-START LUBRICATOR An oiling apparatus for an internal combustion engine serviced for pre-oiling the engine before the engine is started. The apparatus includes a manually operated positive displacement oil pump with an inlet at one end and an outlet at the other. An oil suction line connects the pump inlet to the oil sump of the engine, while an oil feed line connects the pump outlet to an oil gallery of the engine through the fitting usually provided for a pressure light or gage sender unit. An oil pressure switch in the feedline is normally open and closes when the oil pressure in the feedline is greater than that necessary to pre-oil the engine. The ignition switch of the engine is connected in series with the oil pressure switch between the battery and the starter motor relay so that the starter motor is disabled until the oil pressure in the feedline is sufficient to close the oil pressure switch. |
