Hi
My newly rebuilt engine is oil tight in all repects except one. I still have more than a little oil coming from the AC "T type" petrol pump. I'm certain that the studs and the pump to crankcase gasket are well sealed, but the oil seems to be coming from the two ends of the main spindle and/or the separate spindle of the priming lever. The drain hole in the crankcase is clear, and the gasket has a corresponding hole.
Any ideas before I toss it in a nearby hedge and get an SU electric one ?
