T500 oil pump marks

[PhilatHooton]

The manuals state that the line on the lever should correspond with the line on the body at full throttle opening. OK.
But which of the 3 dots below the line is the one that should correspond with the line on the body with the throttle closed ?

When i turn the lever it feels like it comes up against a cam or lobe inside which lines up with the middle of the dots as shown in the 2nd pic. Is this the idle position ?

Thanks

Never been asked that one before....In over 40 years of ownership, I've only ever set at the WOT mark and not worried about the rest.

In practice, the amount of oil consumed at idle is almost nothing so it doesn't really matter, I don't think. As Titan said, what counts is the adjustment for full throttle. I'm sure you know not to sit at traffic lights in gear with the clutch pulled: always engage neutral

On my old GT380, the oil pump arm would not return by itself to the idle position when running, it felt like there was a 'soft stop' keeping it about 1/3 open, but gentle finger pressure would push it fully closed.

I posted about it on here and I was pointed at a Suzi factory bulletin about this issue: the factory fix was to add an extra small spring to ensure the actuator returned to the idle position. Basically, the pump's internals have a little stiction.
