Hello,
I'm in the process of getting my new (to me) HLV-H up and running. It's in alright shape but the previous owner had run it without wipers for what was clearly a long time, and the teflon under the saddle is dead and the oil ports were totally clogged.
I'm cleaning out the whole lubrication system, and when I tried to remove the metering unit assemblies by pulling on the steel nipples with the o rings attached, I had two of the assemblies come out with the brass pipe still stuck inside the carriage. Now I'm not sure how to get them out or if I should just leave them in? I've flushed them through with WD40 and they are allowing a free flow of lube.
What I want to know most though, is if anyone has a way of testing the bijur metering units to see if they are functioning without connecting them back up to the carriage and distribution block. Some idiot from the past has drilled a hole through the ditribution block causing it to leak oil whenever the pump is used, so I also have to repair that.
Many thanks in advance
