LT80 Oil block off plate

[whiskeyboy13]

I want to remove the automatic oil pump so I can mix the gas/oil by myself for reliablility purposes. I know all the steps to remove the pump and parts. Where can I find a plate to put across the hole where the pump goes?

IMO you need to remove the lil black plastic piece that drives the pump. It's on the end of the crankshaft.
Then you can leave the pump top on. Or get some bling for it..LOL

I had planned to take the plastic piece off. Never even thought about leaving the pump on top.
