STS Oil Pump took a crap?

Needless to say oil in the pipes again:mad:. This time I turned off the motor when the alarm sounded. Luckily I was 3 blocks from home so my dad pulled me home.

Allen I need an oil pump,do they make a better pump, do I order that from you or STS? I know its the pump, b/c when the key is turned on the pump kicks, but no prime noise like it usually does.
Oh well, at least I did a wax, oil change and plugs on it today.
Now it will just have to sit until I get a pump.

This is the one. 3GPM Gear Pump 12 or 24 Volt I don't know if STS sells them or this is the only place to get one. You might check for voltage and ground at the pump before you give up on your pump.

Thanks for the info. I will do a voltage check tomorrow. I can feel the pump want to turn, but it wont. I wonder if you can rebuild these. If good on the voltage, I will order the pump.

Thanks,

O.k. I ordered the pump, if I do not need it I will return it. Just need it fixed quick.
Thanks for the info.

Are you gonna have to go through that long process of getting the oil out of everything like last time? Or is this just a quick fix... so to speak..

I do not know. I will find out tonight. I turned off the motor quick this time, so I hope it only went out the rear. Will see.

O.K. No oil in the intake pipe good, and I do have current to the pump so bad pump. It will be here Wed. evening. Glad I do not have to take the intake side off again.

Got the new pump on and everything is O.K..
Now I got to burn out all the oil in the exhaust.
The old pump is locked up bad.
