Hi Guys, greetings from the U.K.
Recently bought above motor, paid top price for what was advertised as perfect I have fitted new water pump kit and also fitted new w.pump housing.
Compressed air blows through pipes ok, I,ve had bushwhacker line through to 26", (longshaft) when engine is running there is a good pressure of air coming out of the telltale/pee hole pipe so I assume that the impeller is working ok.
Had it apart 3 times, I have thought it unusual for the water pipe that goes to pump to be fairly rigid plastic, on closer inspection I found that it had been added on to the rubber pipe, is that normal or has someone been playing around?
I have also found that inside this rigid pipe there is copper tubing going up quite a distance inside, the copper tube from the pump will therefore only push in about 3/4 inch.
I use a bin to test motor and have filled it to the top to get water right up leg and above the water pump thinking this would prime it, still does not work.
I thought about taking engine off and fitting a new rubber pipe but would appreciate your comments first before taking that route.
Many thanks in anticipation
Gerry
