I hate that stuff. Why can't people that don't know what they are doing just leave stuff alone. Absolutely no reason to take that off . . . Or remove auto-lube.

You just got lucky. I knew I had a pump in pieces but it turned out to be different than your pic. It's maybe LML or later PX, I dunno but you can see that it's way different. So I dug deeper into some random carb stuff I inherited from a friend. Eureka, I found one that matches! But it doesn't look like the arm comes off without wrecking stuff, so you need the whole cover, right? PM me your address.

What I got from the seller in a bag with everything else needed, including the original airbox.

Woops... I'm going to try to modify it and add a plastic tank, or get an aftermarket tank(?).

Got the tank from Mr Gick, so now all I need.
Awesome.

For posterity, here is how to assemble the earlier autolube's:
(main takeaway -- don't use a fiber gasket on these)
