Oil Pump/Auto lube dramas

[Spanners]

@calum
Thanks again!
Seems strange a fragile part like this is unserviceable but l have managed to source a couple of units so l will check which works the best and replace the old one.
Now this should really be one of the last fixes, l can wait to finish off and enjoy the fruits of my labour!
And post a picture for you guys of course!

The coolant feeds will be there to warm the carb to help prevent 'carb icing'.

Have found a guy that can repair/refurb the oil pumps like new, has done 2 for me so far, let me know if you want his details.

@oldman Yamaha told me they were non-serviceable. Interesting.

[oldman]

Found him via recommendation on dt mx site, did a 250 pump and also 89 dt I am currently doing, yamaha parts and seals supplied, will post photo shortly of 89 pump I have just got back

There you go

[Calum]

@oldman Looks superb

@oldman
Wow, the oil pump looks fantastic.
I would love to have the guys details, pre mixing seems quite prehistoric.
And l would love the engine working all correctly......darn these OCD’s!

Hi, his name is Gary and his email is morysjones@gmail.com, first class imho!

@spanners Nah man, OCD is good. Forums are OCD.

IMO, get it running spot on. It's worth it. But a lot of people tend to be short on cash, so I was merely offering a quick win.

@spanners We all have OCD in some way, shape or form bud. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a healthy obsession on/in something, it just proves that you have a soul and take great pride in creating something beautiful!!!

[oldman]

IMHO if it's there it should work, annoys me if it doesn't, keep thinking about it until I give in and correct it.

Well guys I’m certainly in the right place with this forum.
@Calum I realise and understand your thinking, you always offer a way to still ride the bike to enjoy it.
I just want to get shot of the bodges, turned screw heads, snapped bolts and quick fixes.
@oldman thank you for the contact, I really appreciate it. I’m hoping both the pumps l got hold of work, then l can send one off to be refurbished.
@NINJA thank you for your kind words, l say great minds think alike...... and congregate in similar places!
I should be able to take it out this weekend, even my new rear fender for AJ Sutton has turned up, that has got to be good luck!
