The oil must be getting by those gears somehow!!
A friend a compenent engineer has a 750 Commando, his first old Brit and Norton and it wet sumped badly. Years later and after fitting an anti-drain valve the motor nipped up both big-ends goosed and a rod bent. And it rode home like that, amazing. Out of interest I ask for the old pump, I've got to admit I took it to bits and held that pump in my hands for ages knowing something was missing but what ? it was the short spindle. It's no wonder it wet sumped but hell it even pumped oil.
The good news is he's still hooked like the rest of us sad b*****ds.
