Listers............
A note concerning the problem of really knowing whether or not the oil inection pump was really doing it's job.
Recall that, Rex Shaw sent a solution to the pump wondering problem. His solution was to hook an electric drill onto the pump shaft and watch the oil exit tubes in the intake manifold.
His idea worked like a charm! Found out that I didn't have to put the drill in the crankcase.
I removed the carbs and rubber sockets, took out the 7 or 8, 8mm bolts holding the larger housing, holding the oil injector pump (where the white drive gear hides). Hooked up my handy dandy electric drill with an 8mm socket on an extention, turned the drill to "reverse" (won't work otherwise) And turn that hummer on. Took about a minute and lo and behold, the oil came spurting outa the manifold jets.
The biggest problem was, trying to get the "O" ring (it's not really an "O" ring. It's a square ring, back in it's groove on the engine. But I've never heard it called a sqaure ring) And stay there, while I put the pump housing back on the engine. That lil' bugger popped out, I don't know how many times, right when I thought I had the sitcheation under control.
Learned 6 "new words" in the process. Be happy to pass them on to anyone who might need them, but can't spell 'em.
Finally got the "square ring" in place and after taking my medicine, everything's hunky dory.

PS: As an aside to Micheal who broke his jaw, laughing at my attemps at being informative and serious. After I finish pouting, sucking my thumb and extracting the glues......which glue would you like me to send?

Herb,
Try some light grease on the "O" rings to "glue" them
in when assembling. Just enough to make them stick
and wipe off the excess after you got it in place.
Easier to do than to delete your e-mails thru tears
and side aches.
