If you put a wire through the oil galley from the inspection port, you should be able to see it at the inlet port for the riser. If that's clear you should be good to go.

Good advice! I'll do just that!

Quick update. The 4th oil filter cover came today. I checked the inspection port for clogs and the like and it was clear. Took the plug out of the oil pressure sensor housing, installed a new oil filter and cap, filled her with oil and started her up. SUCCESS!!! My parts bike runs great with a few blips. Seems I'm burning oil in either the 1 or 2 cylinder (white smoke) and my tach just stays on 3000 rpms. Need to troubleshoot those, but I now know she's has a running motor :woohoo:

Yeah, when I grabbed the oil sensor housing from the parts bike, the plug was in there, hence the oil pressure build up. As for the tachometer, it turned out the old one was broken but my parts bike had a working one.
