Hi I have small oil leak from around the oil pump, are these easy diy fix with a new seal/ repair kit or better to have someone carry out a complete strip and rebuild. Any recommendations who carry’s out pump repairs.
cheers

Do the simple checks first to make sure the leak isn't coming from the supply pipe from the tank or the small bore pipes from pump to carb.
Make sure they haven't perished and that the retaining clips are present.
If you have the clear line type, dump them and fit gen Yam, they cheap and very good and also prevent engine oil starvation. All sorts of problems with clear type.
If the pipes and connections are all good, then check the gasket behind the pump. Cheap and easy to replace.
if neither of these, then as Dusty says, Arrow is the man for oil pump refurb. Great service.

I've had a couple done by Arrow, the last one he did I persnoally thought was scrap. Main housing had a huge crack in it, came back as new. False economy to do anything else.

I'll find/add it later. |

My bleed screw came a bit loose. Check that. And if the fiber washer is squashed then replaced it

engine or 2 stroke oil? that should help narrow the leak down.
