Re: Breeze tonight, Gale tomorrow?

Frank, thanks for the explanation on the "pump".
There is a channel routered out in the flange of the
crankcase (where it bolts to the cylinder)
between the top and bottom crank main bushings.
I just thought it was for getting rid of oil in the top
bushing so it didn’t contaminate the magneto.
I guessed that crankcase pressure lubricated the
upper bushing. I didn’t know about the pumping
slot forcing oil up to the top bushing.
Interesting, Thanks!

Prepare to be boarded!
