Bought A 1975 rd350. When checking the auto lube pump the cable rotates the adjuster pulley very stiffly and it returns very slowly when the throttle is released. It acts like it is gummed up. Is there a way to free it up with a solvent, (gas, brake cleaner, denatured alcohol, etc) so that it will rotate more freely. I have read that the pumps are no longer available new, But is there someone with NOS stock or who can rebuild them. I'm pretty sure it works as when i started it up it smokes pretty heavily, but the pump action is very sluggish. Thanks for any help.
