1990 dtr oil pump 4fl completely slack?

[declan]

@Calum not that I can see I've checked it over I found a video on YouTube that showed the exact same thing mine does but it was foreign so I couldn't tell if he was showing a fault or how it normally is

[Calum]

@declan You know what I am saying though?

The cable shouldn't be able to go all the way through. So that should tell you what has gone wrong.

[declan]

@Calum yeah I know what your saying when the bikes all together I'll sort it

[Mightyman]

Is it possible that the two cables have been swapped?!

[Calum]

@Mightyman It doesn't look that way, note the space for the circlip on the cable

[declan]

@Calum and there's no way it could have stretched that much surely

[Calum]

@declan The cable isn't stretched. The whole thing has gone into the oil pump housing.

The metal piece with the reecess cut out should be way back inside the cutaway. The circlip stops it falling back out of the case and it is stopped by the fact the whole cable does not fit inside the housing.

I get the impression I am not making it very clear.

[declan]

@Calum no I completely understand that's why I mentioned the bushings to it takes up the cable slack

[Calum]

@declan But I am saying, fix it. It should be fixed not padded out with bushes

[Zrako]

This is how mine looks like. No circlips , basically it holds on a rubber o ring inside the bore and if I want I can pull it out.

[Calum]

@Zrako Nice, but there should be a circlip to stop it falling off.

[declan]

Is it okay to ask questions here or do I have to start a new thread?

[Calum]

@declan If the question is related fine, if it's a totally new question then new thread please.

[declan]

Got it thank you

[declan]

@Calum is there any chance you could take a picture of the hex bolt and thread so I know how it looks thanks.

Part 8

See where it leaves the junction box, bends 90 odd degrees and has some tiddly bits above it.

That's where you adjust it.
