mikuni oil pump
Right sorting the oil pump leak, it seems to be coming from the spindle (which later i found out was a cam) so i figured there must be a seal on that, that isn’t working.
The plate/arm for the cable off here, can move the cam in and out a bit.
I know nobody can see it(phone cam), but this is what has happened, the top plate has a little finger on it that push’s the back of the cam in. That finger is worn quite a bit, hence that cam can come out and oil gets past the seal. Simple’s. No idea how to fix it though make another top plate with a new finger? finding a second-hand or even a new one is not easy.
grey sludge from the gearbox, No shops open today so I left it there to go find a new pump on the net. No luck so far.

must be a spare oil pump in the box of bits that came with the bike?
Nope, i looked, none on ebay either, may make a new top cover with a new finger that might work.
found two air scoops for the side of the fairings there tonight when i was tidying and i also found the info about the previous registered owner etc….
sweet, txt me his info, better get my butt in gear if i’m gonna be driving this thing soon. Oil pump leak seems to be cured for the moment.
