Hello world, new member that has lurked the forums for a while.
Looking for help/guidance with the following issue:
1994 Polaris Sportsman 400 that likes to use 1L of oil per tank of gas and create blue smoke clouds.
Pulled the oil pump cover off and noticed that at idle the notches do not line up, however, at full throttle they line up.
Adjusted the pump to match up at idle but at WOT it is not even close to lined up. This concerns me that at Idle the oil will be correct however at WOT I will be short on oil.
Attached are pictures of the pump lined up at full throttle and what it looks like at idle.
I attempted adjusting the cable at the throttle and readjusting on the oil pump but I cannot manage to get idle/WOT to line up to the notch.
Am I doing this incorrectly or is the cable stretched out? The manual only says to line up the Idle however why are there 2 marks on the butterfly flange?
Thank you.
