Hi guys,
My first time posting on the forum, I recently just got my hands on a frame and engine of an unknown '400 and I'm thinking about returning it to its original state. First, the engine # reads 1MO and frame # 2L0, could someone please kindly help me with the ID of this bike?
Secondly I'm taking apart the engine since it's not running, and I notice it's missing a triangular piece of metal (supposedly sitting right behind the clutch basket). I looked it up on the schematic and some docs call it oil pump cover, while others oil guide plate, I've attached a photo showing a crank case with that piece in case you guys can't remember. But all search by those keywords came back with nothing on ebay
. So my question would be what exactly is it? What does it supposed to do? Most importantly if someone happens to have a spare piece could we make a deal?
Thanks in advanced!
