Oil feed blocked

Hi all,

Got my bike running again and then the oil feed return tube burst.
Tried to fix it and then it burt again.
I found out that the return feed is blocked inside the oil tank. So I took a compressor and tried to clear it.
Now the compressor hose burst.

Anyone any good ideas how to unblock the feed line?

Re: Oil feed blocked

Is this a joke? I can't imagine an M20 oil pump would have enough pressure to burst a hose that wasn't made of licorice and a compressor hose is designed to run at pressures in excess of 100 psi. Are your flow and return pipes plumbed the correct way round? :thinking_face: Ron

Re: Oil feed blocked

I think the steel Rod holding the oul filter is clogged. I am thinking of drieling a hole in the pipe on the bottom of the oil tank.
Only problem then is that I will bypass the oil filter I guess.

I've never come across such a bad situation as this. Maybe take the tank off, block up the feed outlet and fill it with petrol to break up the clogging. Ron

Drilled a small hole in the top where the Oil filter goes over the feed.
Compression from the other side and it unclogged.

Just in time for its inspection by the "RDW". Now it is getting a license plate.
