Oil pump

Post by KR250-C2 »

Hi

Has anyone noted a hollow silicon tube inserted in the brass inlet pipe of the kr1s oil pump. I've just obtained a new pump and the brass inlet has this hollow silicon tube inside which is reducing the size of the internal diameter of the pipe.

My current pump does not have this silicon insert and I'm having difficulties setting up the pump as it is delivering to much oil even though it's adjusted as per the manual.

Should this silicon insert be in the oil pump brass inlet. Is it there to govern oil follow?

Many thanks
