I never could get my O-200 to self prime, I had left the spark plugs out to take the pressure off of the rod bearings and to make her easy to spin over but she just would not pick up the oil. I finally pulled the side plate where the filter mounts and poured oil in the top hole until it would not take any more. I think that I even turned the prop backwards to make sure that it would enter the pump. I then put the plate back on. This worked, I had oil pressure. PS, It takes a lot of oil, you have to back fill the screen cavity.
