A Question, on the ‘Oil Pump’ in the LS650/S40.
Fairly documented that it needs, 1000 + RPM on start up.
And it is often stated, it is ‘weak’.
A, “few years ago”, when I was playing with my 1929 1/2 Model ‘A’.
(the 1928 & 1929, were different than the 1930 & 1931’s
But, their was a, ’transitional ’ model, it was dubbed the, ‘1929 & 1/2’)
(Which I bought at a local farm Auction, before I even had a DL, for 100.00. Picked a Lotta Rocks, Fixed a Lotta of fences, and hoed a LOT of corn out of the beans, that summer)
A local station/repair shop, with some, ‘old’ guys in it. Told me about a easy fix, to the, Model, ‘A’s Oil Pump.
For some reason, they took kindly to a punk, who bought more rear tires, for a 62 Buick, than they thought was ’normal’.
Anyway, it was a easy fix, just a little grinding, to make the parts fit together tighter, thus increasing the Oil Flow.
Now the question: Many, VERY, Knowledgeable, “Gear Heads”,
(and that is a, VERY, kindly remark), here.
Has anyone ‘played’ with the Oil Pump, to make it more efficient, than the OEM one?
