Got this Rd350 running like a top but the 2T oil pump is weeping just a drop or two per day. The oil appears on the cable and I believe it may be a shaft leak. When I take Q-Tips and look for leakage around the pump and oil lines there is no areas of concern.

Has anyone dealt with this? Should I look for a rebuild kit or a shaft seal? Thoughts are appreciated. Thanks

That looks correct to me, except, that I couldn't read the float measurement, which I'm going to assume you got correctly. The only think I would make sure of is that that channel from the air box nipple into the carb is clean, and I would, and I'm sure you have, checked to make sure the jets, needle, etc are the correct OEM part numbers.

Non Standard parts will kill what would otherwise be good performance from a carb. I had two bikes that the PO had used non standard carb kits on and neither bike had the right needles. When I changed the needle back to OEM, the bike ran just perfect.

Have fun. LP
