Many
thanks for your speedy response, Geoff. Would you know if there is available
somewhere a more detailed diagram of the pump than appears on the "Details
of Oiling System" page of my late '24 owner's manual?

Phil, you must check that you have no air
leaks  in the pipe from the sump,
or conversely no
blockage.   The pump is pretty simple, and it could be that
the
pressure regulating plunger is stuck up, or the spring broken.  Have
you
checked that the main actuating spring is not broken?  This is a
special
tapered spring.  Make sure the top and bottom ball check
valves are in
place.  Good luck,
Geoff.

Super-Six coach




Following purchase in 1996, I used the
restored coach sparingly, but
regularly, until the fall of 2000, when I
stupidly ran the main gas
tank dry, lost the vacuum, and damaged the vacuum
tank in an attempt
to reestablish the vacuum. This has, after a three-year
search to
find the correct vacuum tank parts, been rectified, but now I
have no
indication of oil delivery from the guage when I attempt to start
the
car. Back when I was regularly using the car, the guage was
often
somewhat reluctant to register, but always would after two or
three
brief starting attempts; now, nothing. I've tried the
pump-priming
thing, with no luck. I disconnected the piping to the guage,
but no
oil was present. The sump is full and I've run the car very
briefly
in my feeble attempts to sort out the problem, so I'm not
concerned
at this point that I've harmed the engine, but I know I can't
drive
it until I know the splasher pump is doing its job. Any thoughts
or
suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Best regards,
Phil
Teslow
