OILING SYSTEM TESTS
Cylinder Oil Pump Resistance
Test
Disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the oil
injection pump.
Use a digital multimeter to measure the resistance
between the pins of the oil pump connector. Cali-
brate the meter to the LOW OHMS scale.
Results:
An infinite reading (
) indicates an open circuit of
the injection pump winding. Replace faulty pump.
Oil Supply Vacuum Test
Remove the oil pick-up assembly from the oil tank.
Carefully remove the pickup filter and flush with a
mild solvent to remove any contamination. Rein-
stall filter.
Carefully remove the oil hose from the oil pickup
and remove the oil supply hose from the oil injec-
tion pump.
Use low pressure air to purge oil from hose.
Use Plug/Holder, P/N 329661, and clamp to plug
the pickup end of the hose.
Attach a vacuum tester to the outboard side of oil
supply hose and draw 7 in. Hg (24 kPa) vacuum
Oil Injection Pump Resistance

WARNING
Wear safety glasses to avoid personal
injury, and set compressed air pressure to
less than 25 psi (172 kPa).
