Hmmm. Let's see.... clogged filter, oil supply low, worn out bearings, too much slick 50, cheap oil..... 'nuff said?

Slug buildup on the oil pump pickup screen. Does it have an aluminum oil pan? I'm guessing it does and I'm guessing that's your problem. The silicone used to seal the pan falls off and gets caught in the screen. Drain oil, fill engine with 4 qts of deisel, start and run for 3-5 min. Let set for 30 min. Repeat. Apply new filter and fresh oil. This may solve your problem. If it doesn't, it's possible that you have crank problems (if you've driven it to death) or a bad oil pump (rare). Good luck.

you know i saw this once... my buddy blew out a bike motor cause of no pressure. the oil was to thick for his aging motor. change your oil and use something a little lower... maybe a 5 or 10 weight.

either a broken sending unit or oil pump is most likely, replace sending unit and see if pressure comes back, don't run engine more then a few secs if you don't see pressure
