Oil & Fuel No oil getting to oil filter

Thanks for the advice. But I now have the engine taken off some many parts from the motor I might as well keep going.

Keep going and do what? You may not even have a problem.

Tractor has a oil light but no pressure gauge. Oil is filled a beyond the dip stick level. I took oil pan off and cleaned the suction screen (Suction screen wasn't clogged but I cleaned it anyway). Cranked 30 second no oil. I removed and cleaned the oil valve behind the filter. Cranked again with decompression engaged. No oil. I then removed the oil valve behind the filter and cranked it without it or the filter on no oil. Took off the oil inlet pipe crank a little still no oil. Sounds like I have a oil pump problem. I have never tackled a oil pump any advice or cautions? Thanks Dan

The oil pump on your YM165 is driven by the camshaft and is on the rear of the engine, you have to remove the flywheel to get to it. If you want to check the pump when you get it off e-mail me and I will look up the specs for you. A new oil pump is $ 200.00 +
