Could someone provide a photo or diagram showing where the “markings” on a RD250LC oil pump should be both at tickover and also at full revs?
Thanks
Mike

The final long line at full bore, just after 12 o'clock in this photo should be in line with the pulley side screw. Some pulleys don't have that line so just use the short line.  |

The lines at the idle position are for a different setting method. This is somewhere near, but its just a reference. You don't use the marks at idle and the marks at full bore together. Its one or the other. Use the full bore setting.  |

Unfortunately it gets complicated. Back in the day when all the parts on the bike were original we did not need a reference at the idle position. Some pattern throttle cables out there can be adjusted correctly to the full bore position but don't give the full range of movement and cause over oiling in the lower and mid range. Hence the need to have a reference for the idle position.

Witness mark at the idle position on a pulley from back in the day showing a shiney mark where the little side screw has been running. Note how close it is to the spring location hole. Again, reference only.  |

Why cant all my mates live round the bloody corner?! To be honest I was going to come round and have a yak this summer as I should have been in the Uk in June/July but this bloody pandemic is ruining my social life.  |
