the index mark on the pump body aligns with
the aligning mark on the oil pump control
lever.

the throttle to increase engine rpm and check
the operation of the oil pump control lever.
If adjustment is necessary, adjust the oil
pump control cable by loosening the control
cable lock nut and turning the adjusting nut.
After adjustment, tighten the lock nut.

Reference tip alignment within 1mm of
index mark on open side is acceptable.
However, the aligning mark on the
control lever must never be on the

engine damage will occur because of
insufficient lubrication.
If the oil pump is not synchronized properly,
the following will occur:
• Excessive white smoke or hard starting due
to pump control lever excessively open
