I was changing the oil on my BX22. When I removed the oil filter no oil came out of it and when I looked inside, it was clean. So I'm not getting any oil through the filter. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

that my friend is strange......
should have some in it below the center line.......
would you say clean as in NEVER had oil in it?
how much oil came out when you drained? more or less the right amount?
was it "clean" or rather dirty?
I would place a new filter on - fill with oil, turn key on to light the dash and SEE THE OIL light lit.......turn to preheat, and the fire up - you should STILL have the oil light on for about 2 seconds.......
now many will say that you should fill the oil filter UP with oil before you place it on .....that IS true - but on a sideways filter, it is a messy pain in the ars.
Hell - I will end up throwing half the oil in the filter on the machine, cuss like a sailor then really get pissed!
but if you do fill filter - the oil light will go off quicker.....
those 2 seconds are the filter being filled up and the pressure getting up - I would make sure the machines oil sensor is working, cause if you are not filling up the filter via the pump.....well - that is gonna hurt getting to the pump and what not.
tell us what you find!
