Hi All
I have just taken the cam shaft out of my 1275 MIdget engine and it has a slot drive for the oil pump. The Cam I am (was) replacing it with has a 3 point star drive on it.
Does anyone know if when I pulled the replacement Cam out from the front is it likely there is some sort of adaptor stuck to the oil pump which didn't come out with the cam? Or is there some kind of adaptor I can buy in the UK which will convert the 3 pointed star to a slot drive on my current oil pump? Finally I thought about changing the old pump to a star drive but certainly the pictures the retailers show don't seem to have the correct end on them.
I was asking because it would just be extra work to get to the oil pump to see if something may have been left on it when I pulled the replacement cam out.
Many Thanks
