Got a phazer ll ,took it out and blew it up , oil dose'nt seem to be used ,at least not very much , tore it down ,had a burn spot in middle of pto side in piston ,looked dri like hardly any oil was being used. checked the oil cable and found it to be pulled out of its seated pos. and bent at cable,like a 90*angle. fixed that, put piston back in ,back together..mixed oil in gas, but I still dont see oil being used out of tank. could the pump be shot ...I was under the impression that if pump is shot it would run wide open?/...lots of oil consumption. whats the consensus on this? Would the pump go bad if it was run w/o the cable seated properly? thanks for all your time and responses
