Hi Liam, I have the same model motor. The oil pressue is adjusted by the long screw at the bottom (a 'relief valve'). Loosen the lock nut and turn he screw upwards to incease pressure. Correct pressure is 20 to 25 psi.

I've just joined this site so hope this helps. I'm looking for points for the Wyco magneto - any suggestions?
