Hi so ive just bought a dtre 125 2004 model and the guy was using a different 2 stroke oil so ive taken off the pump and bottle ect and to clean it i used petrol so ive stripped down the pump and now for some reason the pin underneath will not move back up into the slide sort of looks like the valve in a carb and i cant line it back up what do you lot think if it a nee oil pump or csn i rebuild it somhow. Thanks

I definitely would not be using petrol or the like to clean the oil pump! It'll dry out seals and potentially damage it.
Not sure why you felt the need to clean the pump just because someone used different oil. That's perfectly acceptable.

i would suggest not using the autolube and mixing the oil with the gas

@itstom Carb For future reference some carb cleaner would have been a better option.
Even carb cleaner destroys o rings, can get oil pump refurbed if needs be, or s/h off eBay?

GAS? WTF! Are you running on propane or natural? Petrol please!

I would have thought something more along the lines of wd-40 gt85. Something that lubricates.
As said, carb cleaner, brake cleaner, dries out seals. So it's a no go for oil pumps

@oldman i mix the 2 stroke oil with the gas. i use a 2% mix and not need to worry about autolube. works great

It's petrol! Not gas
