Oil pump bleed screw snapped...

[Thumper3322]

Anyone know if you can order these by themselves?

I had a little air bubbles in one of the lines, so thought after bleeding the system it wasn't 100% closed, turned an 1/8 - 1/4 turn, not that tight and the Fin screw snapped off. Good times. Now it has a very slow leak from the left over screw still in there.

It doesn't seem to affect the lines tho when it comes to air bubbles, so still seems ok to run, just a very slow leak.

Are the oil pumps easy to remove and reinstall? From the manual it looks pretty easy.

Thanks again!

Hope everyone is have a great weekend, trouble free.

i bought another pump this year from Minnetonka4me , pm him, i got pump and cable assembly for 40.00 (shipped) got it in 2 days, also, it beats a new one at 200.00 -- pumps rarely go bad anyways, usually like a clogged filter, or cracked leaking lines

Since you have a 787 and the oil pump is mounted on the mag. cover it should be a fairly easy job to replace the pump, you won't need to remove the mag. cover.

If you broke off the screw head... remove what's in the pump... and replace it. I think it's a 4mm screw.

Thx guys. I will buy used if I have to.

4mm screw, any idea how long?

That be a great fix

Well got the left over screw out.

Anyone running pre-mix that dissent need their bleed screw? Or have an extra one they don't need?

Seadoo doesn't sell then anymore. I will try just a 4mm and see, but would rather have the correct fit.

I know you blew the motor but did you ever find the right bleed screw?.
I'm going to bleed mine in a few days and don't want to snap it off.
