Hi Everyone, This is my first post. Did some quick searching and didnt find what I was looking for. I just bought a very nice little 9.8 110 from a co worker for $100. Got it home and it ran like a champ after sitting for years. As expected the water pump was toast. Rebuilt the pump with the kit from oldmerc.com and got just a trickle from the pisser. After watching videos of other peoples 9.8's I realized mine isnt preforming at all.
So, I started thinking maybe the corroded driveshaft isnt sealing to the pump housing properly and causing poor water pump performance? Thats my question to you guys, Does the interface between the driveshaft and waterpump housing need to be sealed? And do I need to new driveshaft?
