A friend ask me about taking off the oil pump on is TY ( 493-101 ), no problem just take the front cover off, unscrew the pump and pull the shaft and bushing off install a cover with a gasket: voila! the pump is out ( just block the oil intake at the motor ) I never had one that had a clip inside the clutch cover. Was I just lucky ?

And If I want to replace the standard light with LED any advise ?

You forgot to mention you need to block off the carb oil feed.

I wouldn't fit an LED bulb, the voltage is not stable and most bulbs that would fit probably are probably not suitable for fluctuating AC.

"A" model runs oil feed into intake port on barrel like most bikes of the time instead of into the carb like the later models running mikuni carbs Andy

  I have the A model 250 1974 I took the oil pump out and blocked off the inlet tube and put in the plate but I'm wondering if the oil in the gas would call for a larger jet because of the thicker gas mixture?

 

 

Shouldn't make much difference, 1 size bigger if anything but I would be surprised if the standard jetting wasn't a little rich
