oil pump block off

[Dirtykiddracing]

Whats the best way to block off the pump?

Pull the pump, Remove the gear and spacer, Make or buy a plate, seal the plate to the case. Cap off the oil feed nipples I like to solder them shut. Install 33 OHM resister across where the oil sender wires are in the e-box. Or hose clamp the float to the top if you leave the tank. I like to leave the tank just to have oil on-board for the gas dock if needed. I put a spigot on the outlet and marked off Oz's on the side of the tank.

I heard that you can turn the the gear down an put it back in. Would that be better or just leave it out.

Just leave it out. Stuffing the cases on a rec ski will not matter.

Ok, that makes it easyer. thanks

I pulled the gear and reinstalled the pump, plugged the ends of the lines with silicone and put them back on carbs. I bought a WSM fuel selector w/reserve and converted the oil tank into my reserve tank.
