Stihl oil pump.

    Hi all, a few questions, if you please.
    I have a Stihl 044, and the oil pump has quit oiling the chain. Took off the clutch etc, and nylon worm and drive gears look perfect. However the drive gear slips into place very easily, I would have imagined that it would have needed to "thread" into place, engaging with the worm drive of the pump as it went?
    I don't see any adjustment to allow the pump be moved closer to the drive gear?
    Finally, if I need a new pump, I see that spurious replacements run about €25, while a genuine Stihl part (1128 640 3205) is over €60. Which would you go for? bearing in mind the saw only gets very occasional use. An hour every month, perhaps.

    I bought a spurious part (engine housing) for a stihl ms 310 , from a German website via ebay., and it works perfectly. No problems to date. They charged 10 euro for delivery and had it in 5 days. To post the same thing from Ireland to Germany would cost 30 euro. It makes Irish sales via the internet very uncompetitive .
