Dual front brake lines still wont completely bleed.   I'll keep at it. Tiny bubbles in the MC bowl.  Speed bleeders pump fluid only out the calipers....
Filled the carb bowls with gas and twisted the throttle. 
Accel pump primed and squirters did their job after 5-6 twists - Airbox installed.
Battery went in to check everything.  -  Left side blinkers are funky.  L front is off and L rear is on.    Right side works fine. 
Poured some oil in 1&4 , filled my tank, plugs out, and hit the starter a 5-6 times @6-8 second intervals. 
Rested the starter with foot cranking.  Oil pressure light still stayed on. 
Tonight i'll get some oil in the side galley, and go at it again.

Last pieces of this puzzle...
Bleed front brakes, oil pressure, Left side turn signals.

Have you tried the rubber band holding the brake lever depressed trick?

Oil pressure light still wont go out w 4 oz of oil in the R side galley.  Top end looks wet, but I cant tell if its from what I poured up there, or actual circulation.  Searched the forum.....
I may have over-applied thread sealer to my oil pressure sending unit and prevented it from grounding, or it needs replacing.

I would fire it up. But if your not comfortable with that then I would drop the oil pump and reprime it and start over. But like I said.... I would fire it up and just hit the kill switch if it doesn't go out within 6-7 seconds.

The oil switch is tapered pipe thread not sure it needs sealer. Can you get the light to turn off if the wire is disconnected?

  didnt think of that. thx.
I primed the pump before it went in, but a bunch seeped out the lower case oil line mounts when i had to replace the valve cover gasket.   ::)
May have a bubble in there, but i'll clean off the thread sealer first, then disconnecting the wire and see where we're at. 
OK, OK, OK...i'll start it.   :P

Wouldn't start until TwoTired led me to verify the wire order on the points and I found a ground.
Needs a vacuum sync and a few hard runs up the freeway  8)
Waiting for the rain to stop...
