I have not spent much time trying to figure out exactly what failed. To me, it is not important. I say this because when it fails, for whatever reason, it is too late. (I speak of pump failure as a general conversation, and maybe should have said oiling system failure) Normally, there is no warning! On the Yamaha, a simple rubber feed line came off. The cable tie became brittle, and fell off of the injector assembly. The oiling system may have been working properly, and the line just fell off! The pump assembly is probably just fine, I am not sure, but I am thinking the cable tie broke because it was old, brittle and caused an engine failure. ($6500 WORTH) Without complicating the subject, at what point in time do you decide not to use the system any longer? There is no majic date. But, if your system is old, and you are not quite sure or confident of your oiling system, then I suggest you do away with it. If you choose to do that, you will NOT have a failure from oiling issues on a two cycle. EVER! Yep, your pump maybe fine, but the rest of the food chain maybe at risk. My .02 worth.
