Quote from: eddie on 12 Oct 2025 at 17:57 Paul,Hi Eddie, is it possible to dismantle the pump without too much difficulty in case anything has got into the pump or can I spray through some WD40 or something? Thanks
While you have the pump out, remove the circlip and take the gauze strainer off to give it a wash. As I have said, it is only a strainer, and not really a filter, so washing it in situ may push foreign bodies into the pump. When you are ready to replace the pump, the thicker (cork) gasket goes between the pump body and crankcase - the thinner (paper) gasket goes between the pump body and the end plate, controlling the end clearance on the pump rotor and vanes. My personal preference is to just smear the gaskets with grease on assembly, rather than use gasket compound.
Hope this helps,
Eddie.
