Is there some reason that Morgo hasn't made a rotary pump for the Nortons? Does the stock pump work that well? I assume the rotary pumps won't leak back.

Rotary style would be more of a race application. I havn't heard good things about anyone using a rotary on a stock Triumph motor. problems priming ect. There is a really good thread about the pros and cons on Britbike in the Triumph forum. Do a search there and I'm sure you'll get lots of info. I know I did. That being said, I went with a regular Morgo plunger type in my '73 Bonneville motor.
I know that doesn't really answer your question.

I guess it's because the Norton already has a gear pump, unlike the Triumph or BSA ones.
The improvement would probably be more incremental, although a modern pump would be made of better materials.
I remember seeing a picture of the internals of the Morgo a while ago, perhaps in Classic Bike, likely when they first came out. Don't they have eccentric gears?

Yes, thanks. But apparently they don't flow very well. I see SRM makes a nice oil pump for the BSA.
the bsa,s ive owned pumped ok ,but the problems were ,they were made of alloy and could easily distort if they were,nt fitted correctly i think the srm pumps are very similar to the originals but they are made from steel or cast iron which does,nt distort as easyswooshdave said:
