11
Next, use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the e-clip securing the clutch sprocket.
12
Pull the clutch washer and the sprocket off.
13
Using a clutch tool, rotate the clutch clockwise to loosen then unthread the clutch.
14
Remove the large washer.
15
Now use a t-20 torx bit screwdriver to remove the mounting screws to release the oil pump.
16
Detach the inlet and outlet oil tubes from the pump and pull the old pump free.
17
Install the new oil pump by positioning it on the engine shaft.
18
Attach the two oil tubes to the appropriate ports on the new pump.
19
Fully seat the pump and replace the mounting screws to secure.
20
Confirm that the outlet tube is properly seated in the slot in the housing.
21
Replace the large clutch washer.
22
Now rethread the clutch counter-clockwise onto the engine shaft and use the clutch tool to tighten.
23
Remove the cord from the cylinder and rethread the spark plug.
24

25
Reattach the wire and boot to the spark plug.
26

Slide the clutch sprocket back onto the engine shaft.
28

30
Make sure the teeth on the chain are facing towards the front end of the chain bar on the top and away from the front end on the bottom.
31
Loop the chain onto the clutch sprocket as you align the chain bar on the mounting bolts.
32
Reposition the chain cover by inserting the chain tensioner pin into the bar – be aware you may need to adjust the position of the pin to fully align the cover.
33
Secure the cover loosely by rotating the bar tensioner knob clockwise.
34
Now lift the bar and rotate the chain adjustment dial clockwise until there is no slack in the chain.
