Ok so before I took the old one out it would pump ok but not consistent enough to instill confidence. So I bought a new one, pulled off the lower unit, removed the top piece of the pump assembly and there was the issue, an impeller with missing veins. I replaced this, removed the little broken peices of the old impeller, and reassembled everything. Started the motor and no water being pumped, removed the hose from the output and still no water.
So I opened it again and the impeller looked fine, spinning with the shaft, no slack. I am stumped put it back together, no water. It is blowing hot air.
There are 2 things I am not sure about, first this long copper rod comes out on to of the water pump housing, same length as the main shaft. Second, is the impeller does not appear to Align perfectly where it seats. The veins are tighter on one side than the other, like the shaft is off center.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Joe
