Operation Manual

ASSEMBLING THE OIL PUMP
- Proceed in the reverse order to that specified
for stripping down, shown above.
- Pay particular attention to ensuring that the
castellated drive connection between the
pump shaft and the gearing in the clutch side
crankcase half is properly engaged.
- Proceed to bleed the oil pump according to
the following procedure:
- Fit the oil supply hose from the oil reservoir
to the oil pump.
- Using a syringe fill the pump outlet hose with
AGIP Speed oil, and connect it between the
oil pump and the carburettor.
- Withdraw the pump bleed screw.
- Feed the carburettor with a 2% mixture of
AGIP Speed oil and petrol from an indepen-
dent source.
- Start the engine and maintain it at idle
speed. Turn the oil pump control lever to its
full open position, and keep it in this position
until the oil flows out of the pump bleed orifi-
ce without any bubbles.
- Fit the pump bleed screw and check that the
oil flows freely through the end of the outlet
hose which is connected to the carburettor.
- Stop the engine and remove the independent
supply of fuel-oil mixture. Reconnect the
petrol feed from the fuel tank.
- Fit the pump control cable and adjust the
play in the cable until the arrow on the con-
trol lever arm is opposite the reference mark
on the pump body (and the throttle control is
completely closed).
- Refill the oil reservoir with oil until it reaches
the maximum mark.
