Welcome to a 6 foot away handshake...down to it. 79 Shovelhead with age old issue of sitting more than a day, puking oil when first start. I spoke with someone at Krik Sinned and asked if the TP Engineering pump would take care of this ancient old problem. Was told yes, this pump system removes the old "ball bearing" check ball. Sent the $$$$$, put the pump on to same ^&%$##! issue, only worse.
Messaged both TP Engineering and Kirk, naturally Kirk says to get in touch TP Engineers....
I just would like to know if anyone else has used this pump system? and did it help. or was it worse?
Thanks, Remember Social Distancing...what a crock,
Harry
all I can say is I also had issues with them - every question on that end is buy our stuff for way more money then anyone else and it will be fixed - bull$hit
call them back and n0 one knows anything about anything and transfer s your call till you get dropped - and the stuff to me is no better then anyone else's stuff except the price
so what to do now - what is different in that pump that holds the oil from draining into the sump - my guess the dumb $hit sold you what - picture it up and the pumps directions and parts brake down
Have to say I have never hear of the TP engineering oil pump. and had to Google it. Looks like they tried to build a better nmousetrap is all and want top dollar for it. just reading what happened to the OP and to what johnjzjz convinces me I would never ever run one.
