Honda BF50 Trim Pump Seals.
The BF50 on the SR4 will creap back down when trimmed. Oil appears to be seaping past the seals. Rang Honda, no parts available, replacement pump only @ £2k!
Any ideas?

Strip the seals out and take them to a bearing supplier - they'll almost certainly be able to match them up for you.

Alternatively, you may be able to get the dimensions of the seals with the help of Google?

Got an exploded diagram from Challenger, Skippy is pulling it apart to do as you've mentioned.

A couple more seals on the manual release valve sorted it.
