All done pistons etc seem fine, tried hand spinning the pump with wd40 to mixed results.. But promising enough so Reassembled to the bike. Plus rinsed out the oil tank & refilled with fresh semi skimmed.. Then ran her for a while. On premix.😉.. Had her smoking like the wife on tea break.. Obviously.. Then separated the pump from the crankcase again.. I now have oil on the engine side of both oil ways.. Although not getting 'drain back' from engine side.. Guess it could take a while to fill the pipes.. Anyway looking promising..
It's good you have found something - even if it's not good! As far as I can remember it isn't difficult to take the pump apart. I would take some photos as you go and make sure the pistons go back in the same bores. There are some pretty small holes in the pump - perhaps one is blocked stopping the oil flow. May clean out my oil tank this winter after reading your findings.
