December 18, 201114 yr If there is oil in the pump it will be OK to do that. If the pump is dry, it might eventually damage the pump depending on how long you ride for.
December 18, 201114 yr Author Ok, so I took the bike out for the first time. I ended up premixing the oil/fuel 40:1 also had the autolube going just to be on the safe side. Suprisingly the bike ran great. Lots of power, idled perfect,with just a light amount of smoke from the tailpipe. I might just keep everything the way it is. i would have thought with the extra lube it would have smoked like crazy and fouled plugs. Not so much.

Close call ??
December 19, 201114 yr I tell ya ! Auto-lube on a 2 stroke is the devils work you've done well to ditch it. I had a 2stroke trail bike(with auto-lube..supposedly) seize up on the road on a roundabout ****ing autolube.

December 20, 201114 yr Author Possibly means the autolubs not working anyway. Close call ?? yeah close call for sure. I was just going to put staight fuel in the tank and thought it would be a good idea to check the pump. Turned out it was a great idea!
January 6, 201214 yr Author Ok, now I really need some help. I went ahead and pulled the autolube pump. When I pulled the clutch side cover off to disconnect the shaft. Two shims fell on the garage floor. They are quite large, maybe 29mm outside diameter and 25mm inside(they look like a big washers). As far as I can tell, the only place they could possibly go would be on the kickstart shaft. my shop manual says "note the location of the kickaxle shim". However, in the diagram it does not list or show a kickaxle shim. Also, why would I have two of them? Any Ideas? Edited January 6, 201214 yr by fergie
