Dear all,


OK, I've got this fantastic little gem of a 1999 reg, 2 stroke Suzuki AY50 scooter. 50CC that is - i.e. moped to you.

ANyway the oil pump has started leaking into the sump if it's left standing. (left standing in the garage for any length of time I mean - obviously it gets left standing at the lights quite often but without any serious after effects... I digress... )

So day after day without use the oil pump drips steadily into the sump and eventually reaches the level of a tiny gap in the exhaust gasket (I suppose) and a small pool of red 2 stroke oil appears on the garage floor.

Apart from the stain there's an embarrassing problem of huge volumes of thick creamy white smoke as the oil clears after starting.

Basically I have the choice of creating drifting clouds of smoke fogging up the front gardens near our house while it warms up OR laying a giant white sausage of smoke trail away from the house and round the corner for the several hundred metres.

Is the oil pump serviceable? repairable?

Or should I just buy a new pump? Plus it looks very tricky to remove - anyone done it?


This is a serious question.
Genuine replies only please

Can you not do away with the pump, and just mix in the 2 stroke oil with the petrol,

I did this on a Suzuki gt250 years ago to give me more power,

Not sure if its safe (in a reliability type of safe )

Hmmm. Yes, good lateral thinking. I like it.

.... what happened to the GT250?

just a thought

we all did it by mixing it in a petrol can 25+ years ago in our fs1es...............just make sure its well mixed or you will be cleaning oil out of the carb..........happy days..........lol

fs1es - now they were REAL prestige machines

Still are I bet.

(even if they went beyond the threshold of hearing)

so many just blown to bits trying to go a bit faster ............lol

was about a year after, after another mod of mine to get more fuel into the carbs involving a fuel tap each side of the tank, so one to each carb

it is quite scary doing 80+ with a fire just below your goolies !!!

You should be able to download a service manual online which will tell you if it can be serviced/ repaired and how to do this. It seems as simple as a gasket to me!
