I'll be getting my MS6 out of storage in a few days and I'd like to pre-lube the engine before I start it. Is there any easy way to keep the engine from starting while I crank it for as long as it takes to pump oil through the engine. And any ideas how long that might be?

Thanks for the help.

any idea which fuse that is exactly. is it labeled 'fuel pump'. i'd like to do the same after oil change's.

is that even safe to do? what about the fuel thats still in the lines? and the ignition system still firing?

disconnect the fuel pump, and/or the coils.

Only do the fuel pump. You don't want fuel squirted in without ignition. I'll have to verify the fuel pump fuse, but it is in the box under the hood. If you take the cover off and look, I think you wil see it....
