Re: Bad Impeller?

As long as you have it apart, why not just replace the impeller? It's not much money.

Re: Bad Impeller?

Impeller has nowt to do with starting just to do with waterflow and cooling.

Vanes soon get curved but if you have gone to the trouble of taking it out fit a new one. Sounds as though it has sat unused for some time hence the one straight vane

Post picture as an attachment, but you'll have to make it small enough first.
Or upload it to Photobucket or similar and paste in the IMG code from there.

Sorry dont know why your engine wont start.

Are you saying that from cold it starts and runs OK but will not restart when warm if you stop it.

Using the correct oil mix? 20:1 or even 16:1
