Husky 460 no oil

I would test the pump with some oil. Mine would only make a bubble and I tested it and it was bad

They want it for 56$ or so.

I'll pop the pump out and give it a test.

Not pulling or pushng, no air bubbles and not pulling oil. How good of an air seal does it need to test? Looks like its bad though.

I just put enough pressure to hold it on good. It does sound like you need a new pump unfortunately.

Should I try for the used one at 18$ or go new for 40? Or off brand for 34?

So I got the cheaper pump for a 455, it didnt have the raised part on the pump. But it was oiling fine for a while. Then it stopped. Guess what. The gear stripped. What luck. Local store had to order the part in. Should be picking it up today and also swapping the worn spur for a new rim. Does anyone make the part in metal?! Seems like a weak link. Maybe I should keep a spare on hand?

It usually stripps out because debri gets in the pump and jams the works, keep your oil tank clean and you won't likely have a problem. The gear is easily replaced in under a half an hour, just be sure the pump turns free.

Looks like I'll tear it back apart.


EDIT: All was well. Spun freely.
