It was the semi clear lines from pump to cases that always had air in them on the Titan. Got oil fine and never had an issue, but it made me nervous.

I've said to many people over the years that Suzuki - and others too - should have used black tubing. Would have saved a shitload of worry...Originally Posted by Drew

Ah, feel better about riding it like that now.

Only bike we had that you could see the clear lines on like that was the first model TS185 and after it had bubbles for a while freaking us out we bought new lines for it and all fixed as we guessed it was the little ball valves not sealing properly. It never seemed to cause any problems though - no seizures or anything so it must have still been getting enough oil from the pump.

No pics which makes for a tedious thread Fitted oil lines and bled pump tonight as it seemed topical and wiff put kids to bed.
Bled nice. Running Silcolene Scoot Sport cauce it was cheap and bound to be 743% better than what was available in 1970.
Spun pump up with the `lecy screwdriver and held full open. Slowly dripped out of the barrel feeds, none of which are connected. But the crank feeds which are paired to each barrel feed but with thinner tube, well, they didnt spurt. I blew and Isucked and wiped. More pumping. Maybes got a bit damp.
I think premix will feature for quite some time.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

I used to put a bolt through the barrel feeds so it would force oil to the crank feeds.

Well that worked fairly well. With some blocked orifices Suzi became slippery from her remaining holes.
Finally got the throttle working smooth just took some filing of a nipple.
Thought I'd use the blue tank for this photo shoot.

I quite like it in blue but this tank is pretty welted. The silver tank was originally the colour gold I wanted and inside looking clean enough not to seal. But just noticed it is squeezed at the front and won't fit with the rubber mounts. I'll try to open up a bit. Maybe with sisor jack.
I really cannot ignore the loom mess any longer. Individual bullet connectors with only loose adherence to colour. Have to meter out from diagram.

Ha yeah I'll roll through the door and muscle it up the escalator and if anyone challenges me I'll tell them that I'm just going to lean it up against the Britten as part of some theme display of whatever I can think of at the time.
