Oil Pump Problem - Newbie in Virginia

[mfaitak]

All is good. I didn't have two the push rod covers seated properly into the head. After a spring cap retainer fell off (!) last night I have alot of cleaning to do but no leaks.

in a related topic, Glider would you have a download which would show the installation of gear driven cams to replace the chain drive...?

Try this:

How's this for a kick in the crotch. Washed, waxed, cleaned, scrubed, started bike - oil light stays on. Put a gauge on it - reading ZERO! Tearing it apart.

Tore the bike down again and the first gerotor is shattered. I guess I didn't put it on like the book said (thought I did). Could something else cause this? Bent main shaft? And could that be caused by overheating? I'm going for another pump and hope this one will work.

You may want to check the run out of the shaft(main shaft?) that drives the pump with a dial indicator.

Okay, I know it's been a long, long while. Believe me, I know! Took the spark plugs out to make the tire easier to spin in gear (5th) while tightening the oil pump up. Did all the other things I had to do. The weather is just starting to break in not quite northern Virginia and as of now I have about 250 miles on the new new pump (yep 2nd one). With the addition of the Amsoil I couldn't be happier. The shifting is so smooth I can barely hear when I shift, or is that the new V&H Short Shots? Any way it sounds good and runs good. Now as for the weather...

P.S. Change that mood to Stokin!

Glad you got it sorted out and your back on the road
