T20: Oil lines, which go where, bleeding

Post by Rolf »

Another (stupid) question: Putting together my 1968 T20 I realize I didnt take a photo of the oil pump/lines before removing the pump and lines.

There are three lines, one in, two out. Which go where on the pump?

Bleeding the feed line to the pump: Later manuals for GT250 advice to loosen large nut on pump and let oil seep out to bleed line from tank to pump. Same tactic on the T20?

Cheers and thx

The shop manuals are here: https://www.oldjapanesebikes.com//mraxl ... /index.php

The oil pump on the GT250 is oriented differently, so the best way to bleed its pump is likely different.

Certainly, they look similar, but as you say: Differently oriented.

Attached is a photo of my pump: Am I correct in guessing that the middle port is inlet?
