Starting to go thorough parts from GA000099. Didn't notice this upon disassembly.

Interesting fix if someone ends up Fuch'd like this. Bolt broken off. Someone created a hollow, threaded extension that just manages to catch what is left of the stud with a Nut welded to the tube extension.

Very Creative. Love it. Can't help but think partial blockage of the pickup tube isn't a good thing but maybe it worked. Bearings and crank weren't in bad shape but I'll have to take a closer look now.

However, it won't do for a quality rebuild. Need a fresh oil pickup in decent shape.

@Superhawk996 I have this one. It measures 6.5" from centerline of fixing stud to furthest reach of tube.

Carl thanks for reaching out. I've decided to pull trigger on some other parts and seller is throwing in a oil pickup. Really appreciate those that step forward when parts are needed.
