Ive got an early 90s 350…got two..the last one i recently picked up and fiund out the oil pump cable had broke. Got a new cable and now realize the little spring is broken too. I cannot find one online. Now im also paranoid about the oil pump and wonder if i shouldnt just start pre mixing it. I seen online where people take a little gear out near the carb but im unsure why. Assume it needs to be lubricated.

Any thoughts is appreciated.
