oil pump cable broke

[manolocross]

2002 gti le...The oil pump cable broke so we got a new one and installed it...the engine is a 720 single carb unit...we havent started it because it is winterized...my question is should the cable pull on the oil pump lever in a clockwise or counter clockwise motion???it seems like it can work both ways...

counterclockwise. You should feel the tension. OIL PUMP LEVER SPRING
The spring has a curl catch on the mid of the lever. the lever turns from 9 o'clock
and you should feel more pressure as you turn it to 6, then 3 o'clock, even tho
without the spring it will 360*. The oil throttle cable alignment marks at carb idle
is lever at 5:30, just adjust the nut. At 3 o'clock is a lug with the alignment mark
to align the lever and that lug is what the springs lower curl catches under.
