Im kinda wishing I hadnt already thrown the Honda oil filter away already, I would throw that thing back on in a heartbeat just to see. This is really eating at me right now and the parts stores are closed around here.
When I say zero pressure I mean absolute ZERO, only a little bit of oil showed up in the nylon tubing. After taking the gauge off that line should shoot a stream of oil. Funny part is the motor sounds okay when I do run it, but the run time has been very minimal since this issue.

Umm, yes Ive checked the oil numerous times, in lots of different places. The crankcase is full of fresh 10-30 oil and I believe I would have noticed 5 quarts of oil on my garage floor. In the total maybe 3 minutes run time oil has circulated, but no amount of pressure to be found anywhere. I dont think Im getting much sleep tonite

pull the oil filter and drain any oil from the filter, reattach it to the engine and crank it a couple turns with the fuel pump fuse and ignition coil fuse removed (to prevent it from starting) , then check to see if the oil fiter received a new supply of oil.
Do you have an aftermarket oil cooler added ?

The only 2 things that are different before and after your change are the oil and filter. All the oil for the system must pass through the filter. If the new filter was incredibly defective in a way I can't imagine, it could cause this.

The more I think of it the more it has to be the oil filter if everything you described is correct and it all started at the oil change event. Either the oil pump chain has snapped (which would be the first one ever) or the oil filter is defective. If the problems started after a hard run it could be other items but since it happened at the oil change event I would examine the oil filter first and test it out.

I didnt really get much of a chance to mess around with it anymore last night. Ill pick up a new filter on my way home from work and pray that will be the solution.

It has to be something you touched as part of the oil change. So its either the oil, or the filter. Its not the oil. Even if you poured water in there the oil pump would pump it and it would squirt out the gauge port you left open while testing.
So its totally the filter. 100%. Easy way to prove it, take it off (or just loosen it), crank engine (with ignition disconnected so no start), and see if any oil comes out from filter mount location (be ready to catch it so it doesn't make a mess).
