oil pump snapped

[bren]

Hey guys

66v engine nipped up, pulled plugs......dry...ok, oil flow problem....

pulled down and turned engine with oil leads off carbs....no flow...

pulled down further, took air intake off......oil pump has snapped clean off front of engine, but spins freely????

is this weird or should I stay off the crack pipe???

hi bren ..

any damage other than the oil pump other than nip

[bren]

not too much, no1 nip up, so slight I should be right with 1200 g wet and dry, will pull the pistons and replace anyway, going to sell the craft so want to sell, and sleep at night

got a set of pro x ready to go

happened on the race track and was coming around last bouy 30 feet from my pit area so just glided over and left it there, no trying to run it back to shore

very lucky indeed

you going to swap her to pre-mix or source another pump..

[bren]

dont know, I'm selling her as a stock racer / cruiser so probably should replace the oil pump and keep her user friendly for the next owner.

I just gotta sort it out before june 3 as my new bo dupreist / farthing toy gets here and I might lose all sense of urgency when that baby arrives
