I got my parts order today and Im putting the 6401 oil pump back together. The rebuild kit came with 2 output control bolts, one black and one white. Does anyone know which it the regular and which is the high output? They look identical to me except for the color.

Thanks

I think you want the white one. If you study the end, the concentric is more pronounced on the HO version

I have to fix my PS-7900, the hose must have shortened so much the oil is no longer exiting at the bar plate but instead somewhere under the clutch. :confused:

While at it, also gotta do my PS-6400, she's been leaking for years now.

So are saying the white is the high output?

Thanks for the help everyone. I rebuilt oiler and put hoses on and it has sat since Monday and has no oil under it.
I “think” so. I just did one a month ago, and I think I used the white one

@huskyboy do you remember which is the higher output?

I did use the black one once when I didn’t have another oiler kit and needed the saw the next day. It works, just puts out less oil. I just steepened the ramp on the plunger to compensate. Prefer to just use the white though if possible.
