Oil Pump Fitting Spins and comes out

[lswaffield]

:willy_nilly:The line running into my oil pump goes into a fitting with a square block that in turn goes into the oil pump. Is the block/hose fitting supposed to be able to spin and/or come out of the pump? When servicing the pump and putting a new o-ring around where the pump goes into the mag housing, the fitting attached to the line popped out but made a snap when I popped it back in. When I fired it up and ran it that night all seemed fine the next day I had oil all down in the well. I reached around and that line was half out of the oil pump. It is blocked by a flange or it would have come all the way out.

Is the block/hose fitting supposed to be able to spin and/or come out of the pump?

Here is a pic of another pump. I circled the fitting I am asking about.

If it not supposed to spin or be able to pop out. I am considering JB Welding it in unless there is a way I can solder it in like a plumbing pipe. Any thoughts?


Thank you,
Lee

I took a look at my ski this morning, I don't think that the fitting you're talking about is supposed to be loose, I checked my 96GSX in it's in there tight (I didn't want to pull on it too much). You might want to PM Nick [MENTION=41828]Minnetonka4me[/MENTION] and see if he has one.

It is not supposed to move. I would suggest replacing it, I have good used ones for $50 shipped. You might get away with gluing it in place, but its not the right way to do it.
