How funny, I looked at that photo of the gears and thought the OD of the gear was about 1" and thickness 1/8" but with a photo you never can tell - now you tell me i was not far out!  Many thanks for the confirmation.

"Honda tend to get things right". Thats why I thought if Honda had gone with such a pump it must be OK, a good 'un.  And yes, I saw a programme once that the Cub was such a winner for Honda for so long, as they got the package right, at the right time, for the right market, and the result was such a winner for so long.  Brilliant!

Kim, I am looking forward to getting at this. I am reading the assembly notes again to get a better idea of how it all works.

Agree with Kim, a little oil and the truck should be fine.  They should free up with some running.

Hello Chris,

Sorry, I forgot to give the gear dimensions in the earlier post. I believe the pump I used is from a 50cc Honda Cub engine, the outside diameter of the ring gear is 23mm and it's 3.2mm thick. I have another similar looking Honda Cub pump in the box, it measures 23mm diameter and is 5.5mm thick; almost double the capacity. I guess that it comes from one of the larger engines.

Quote: "The Honda Cub is a motorcycle with a four-stroke single-cylinder engine ranging in displacement from 49 to 124 cc (3.0 to 7.6 cu in). It has been in continuous manufacture since 1958 with production surpassing 100 million in 2017. making it the most produced motor vehicle in history."

Honda tend to get things right.
