The crank on this bike has slotted rods. It was rebuilt before I bought it, around 2012. I have pictures of the rebuilt motor and called the builder to confirm before I bought the bike.

The rods are slotted but apparently the inner crank seals are shot because they won't pass the pressure test. If I plug all three cylinders the crankcase will hold 6 psi. Individually, no each cylinder will not hold 6 psi.

So, Charlie I guess I can hookup the oil pump now, but then maybe I should put that freshly rebuilt crank in this engine.

Well, the intake tract or the carb bowl, depending on the year. I was thinking the same thing, but don't have any experience in this area.



Would my '74 H2 have this?

A '74 should have three lines to the three float bowls and a single line that splits into three that go to the block banjos and on to the crank bearings. Also a 4-output oil pump. Earlier H2s have a 3-output pump and three separate lines to the three block banjos, and then the oil splits to the three intake runners and the three crank passages.

Moo: The crank has rubber seals.

Jim: I recently installed TM34 carbs on it. I think I'd rather adapt the bike to the three-line pump instead of running the H2B/C pump and lines. Another project...

It's probably easier to put fittings on the bowls, but you can modify the cylinders to go to the 3-output pump.

Modify the cyls but the late and early pumps are all semi hard to find in good shape. But Jeff (JRD) can help with helicoil them to new....

Just checked my basket case and mine does have this.

Thanks for the info, Jim.
