oil pump/lubrication system

[thecoolerking]

hi

Has anybody got any good ideas for a lubrication system?
Am working on a fairly compact a-series mini oil pump based set up but am struggling to find a 12v dc motor with enough torque to drive it in a direct drive way rather than a reduction drive using a belt and pulleys etc.

Hi
What country are you in ??
I use 12 volt "personal mobility scooter" motors , actually they're 24 or 36V but I run them slower ( 900 rpm) on 12 V .

I'm in the uk, good idea, have looked at golf trolley motors n even engine starter motors but starters cant handle prolonged use.
Do you think they have the torque to drive an oil pump directly off the end off the pump drive?

Thanks for the help.

Yep , no troubles running a direct drive to the pump , I use the 500W 36 Volt motor that normally spins ~2500 - 3000 rpm , but on 12 Volts it only spins ~900 rpm which is a sweet spot for the Subaru oilpump ............pics of pump on my GT 6041 kart build Thread here

Hi john
Does the subaru oil pump you use run off the crankshaft or camshaft originally?

The camshaft ..........................theres a slot milled in the end of the camshaft that the tang on the pump shaft fits into .
