Oil pump sticking

I haven't noticed, but I haven't checked because I was going to hit 1k miles before I turned it down. I'll check and let you know.

hers has about 1500 miles,it hasnt fouled any plugs but they were pretty black

My sled was using 1 gallon of oil every 150 miles when I first got it (2001 800MXZ). I took it to the dealer, and they turned it down, but it was sticking on me when I got it home. I fitted a small spring from a Remote Controll car to remedy. Your local hardware will have a large selection also. I tried several, and ended up with the RC car one becasue it was the "softest". I could hardly tell it was on there.

I put it over the cable. It pushes on the arm and on the adjuster. I feel this is a band aid fix, but the only one that would fix the problem. I have ran like this for over 2500 miles, and the mileage is now approx 350-400 a gallon, or about 100 miles a quart.

Good idea "D"! I'll check on mine as soon as I get it back. Still at my buddies on the trailer from this weekend.

I was going to ask the same question here,as mine is doing the same thing, and I was told then do this if its not running. Has anyone tried starting it and seeing if it sticks?? Mine still sticks even when running, tried it.

I had to replace mine, I  found out later that its a common problem, it was big bucks, I think somewhere around 150 U.S.
