Hi everyone, due to covid restrictions and bad weather, I hadn't used my 1970 A1 for just over a month, yesterday I took it out of the garage, after turning it on, I realized that in the left pipe that visne from the tank of the oil there was an air bubble of about one cm. it was strange as the oil tank was almost full. I thought that the pump, turning, would suck the air bubble, but after 7 km I saw that it was always in its place, it had not been pushed forward, sucked, and I no longer trusted to continue and I returned home . what can i do to get rid of that air bubble? it's dangerous? why was it formed? forgive the many questions, but we girls don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge ...

You could disconnect the oil feed line at the pump and let the oil drain until bubble is gone.
