Oil Pump Adjustment Procedure

400 Engines

1. Before adjusting the oil pump, check

engine idle RPM and carburetor ad-

justments which are found in the own-

er’s manual supplement.

2. Remove electronic throttle control

(ETC) cover.

3. Loosen throttle cable jam nut and turn

adjuster in or out until there is 1/16″

(.16 cm) of throttle lever travel before

throttle slide starts to open.

4. Place very slight pressure on the

throttle lever until all freeplay is re-

moved from throttle cable (to the point

where the carb slide is just starting to

rise).

5. Lift boot up off adjuster sleeve. Re-

move the oil pump cover. Loosen the

cable adjuster locknut.

Adjust oil

pump cable until marks align (D) when

the throttle slide just begins to raise.

6. Tighten the locknut.
7. Recheck adjustment. If correct, slide boot all the way down over the upper por-

tion of the bottom nut to ensure good sealing against water entry. Reinstall oil

pump cover gasket.

8. Reinstall the ETC cover removed in step 2, making sure cover gasket is proper-

ly seated. If not, moisture will enter the ETC and damage the switch.
