@Louis-James A bullet dodged there dude!!! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

@NINJA yes, this engine had a fair few leaks I sorted today
Oil pump
Gear lever seal
Water pump.
Also putting the water pump pipe back in caused many problems, took so many attempts to get it to seal.
But now have a fully functioning to 2stroke pump .. as it was from the factory.

@Louis-James Nice one, I feel your pain, as I've very recently been there myself. :pouting_face: :pouting_face: :pouting_face:
It sounds like either a lot of gaskets have perished or not been fitted properly in the first place? Either way an overhaul of em all may be prudent???
-
@Louis-James Well hopefully the only bumps you'll see from now on, will be the ones you are jumping over MX styleee!!!

So the oil pump was not flowing. Took it off and the outlet was block. Removed the hose tail and I drilled the smaller bore. Oil now flows through.
Without taking the pump alart again I am unsure if I have drilled too deep and the oil is bypass internally. By blowing through it and operating the throttle.. it doesn't seem to flow more or less on throttle position. Does there need to be drive to the pump and is it a variable gear inside is what changes the flow?
So going to have to inspect.
Or compare to another.Also bike cuts out when put into gear with stand up or down.. I think it's a faulty sidestand switch
A few little things to sortAnyway.. a few pics

Bike looks superb. Done an excellent job there. Definitely will be on that infamous hall of fame...
Yeah side stand switch is common on all bikes. Should be relatively simple to figure out.
Hopefully it's the switch and not the CDI.
Yeah pumps can be weird to diagnose, better run premix whilst you're figuring it all out!

@Louis-James The bike looks mint bud - TOP JOB!!! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:
Have you ridden her yet???
-
@Louis-James COOL she should go better with the upgrades, let us know how she handles.
-
@Louis-James She's an enduro, so she should go anywhere you wanna take her!!!

Here's a running video.
https://youtu.be/s9rmjz71dsUThat oil pump was definitely blocked inside the casting..
Got another on order. -
@Louis-James She sounds just like a proper 2 stroke should!!! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@Louis-James Is that the original one which came with the bike? If so why not just get it re-powder coated???
