The carb was just rebuilt about a week ago. The carb is working just great. > Heat wave in Utah, already? No. That's what scares me! Anyhow! I had a guy look at it the other day, and here are the new updates: The oil pressure is 20 psi @ 2000 RPM. He says this is about 1/2 what it should be. I have no knowledge of oil pressure/RPM. Would this be low enough that the oil would not be circulating through the oil cooler properly? The mechanic guy suggests that we replace the oil pump, sighting that the pump might not be working fully. Does an oil pump work half/way or is it a work/no work part? | - Mike White | | <mike.white@.law.utah.edu> | | <mwhite@eng.utah.edu> |
