I did read another post, not sure if it was here or another forum, that suggested bleeding air from the oil pump as the oil tank is empty. Any suggestions on how to do that? |
Yes mine is a 1980.
bleeding makes sense. The pipe from the tank to the pump can be disconnected at the banjo/ you can release that and let gravity do the job. The pipe from the pump is quite short so I think most folk load up some e premix initially and run teh bike and watch that pipe until the air bubbles disappear. They tend to 'tick' by IIRC.
Have you got it started yet?

We had it started with some premix in the tank but didnt have anything coming through the oil pump, i was a bit nervous to run it for too long on the pre mix.
I took your advice and loosened the banjo at the oil pup, that got oil from the tank to the pump, but still didnt have anything coming out the pump. Ended up taking the pump off and hooking the drill up to it until oil started coming out, then put it back together to make sure the pump drive was working on the bike. All was good, you're correct, oil ticked through.
Next problem is a little bit of oil coming from where the exhaust connects to the engine.
Thanks for the help! |

Good work. Sounds like you just need a new exhaust gasket.
Be careful screwing the castle nut back on. it's easy to get it cross threaded and feck up the barrel threads.
Let's have pic of the magnificent machine while we're at it. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Cool .
I’ll be watching this thread with interest, through my rose tinted glasses of nostalgia.

Worry about getting the right tank later.
Don’t worry to much About the seat either to start with, get it running first.
Then you’ll have a viable option ie a running machine .
Stop what ever you’re doing right now and go and work on your bike!
That’s an order! ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Could be normal 2T sound, could be little end, could be worse...
Since it takes 10 mins to pop the head and barrel off - take a look.
Checking little end means moving to TDC grasp the con-rod and see if you can detect up down movement on the piston(little end bearing).
Big end test similar.. Youtube if unsure. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750
