83 Trailfire 440 lx oil pump adjustment

Post by RICKZ »

Just purchased 2 440 Trailfire lx models . While cleaning them I noticed one of the oil pump cables that the jam nuts are loose and out of adjustment. What is the proper setting for these so I get the cable set correctly ? Thanks

Hi Rick - here is a link to download the Manual, it has the instructions for adjusting the oil pump: http://vintagesnow.com/John_Deere_files ... ire_OM.pdf

I'm pretty sure that any time I've done it, I just tension the oil pump wire so it starts moving with the throttle lever, and made sure the pump is wide open when the throttle is too.
