Oil pump for Consew 220 fat low speed

[wilsonintexas]

short version. What oil pump works best on a I a Consew 220 (no walking foot no reverse) at low speed?
 

long version:

i bought a Consew 220. Not the best but what it is what I have.  I have added a brushless motor where i can set the max rpm. This is working well. I normally run at 500-700 rpm. It also has a slow ramp so the motor is working well. 

At the low rpm and slow speed i never see oil out of the top tube. 

it is getting a little tight some mornings.

when i start for the day i max the rpm at 22000 and run it until i see oil, then let it run 2-3 minutes.

then i drop speed to 500 and work.

The oil pump oil pump is a  Centrifugal pump. I am sure at low speed it just does not create the pressure needed

i have googled for a gear pump, which should work at slow speed. Consew makes some, but i never see a picture to know if it will fit.

 

does anyone know the part number that would work?

 

or am i ok running it at high speed to oil in the morning?

i usually take this time to wind an extra bobbin?

I´d oil it manually. IMO  a different / new oil pump it too much fuzz for an old machine like this. It even has no reverse right? Just oil it manually as lets say a Singer 96K or similar.

Yes,the best thing to do is try to run it high speed (like winding a bobbin) once a day until you see oil @ the window & you shouldn't have any problems.I went to an Amishmans place once & he had a Singer 241 that had a buttonhole attachment on it that he ran for quite a few yrs w/o using the oil pan.
