My brother in law recently purchased a 98 700 rmk engine. Has the oil pump on it with 3 lines that come off of it. He wants to use newer rack style carbs on the motor which requires the oil lines to be run into the carbs instead of the way the oil line would normally go on the 98.. My question is, can a 99 rmk 700 oil pump be used on the 98 rmk 700 motor in place of the 98 pump since it has the 4 lines instead of 3? Motor is the same other than the pump, and carb boots from what I can tell. Does anyone know if this can be on this for sure?
