Oil Water pump problem
Need a bit of advice i have just stripped my pump , and have installed a
new type seal , the problem i have - is that my impeller is a cast type
an not a pressed type as shown in my instructions . shaft fitted
carefully pulled through with bolt , washer & spacer all ok , but
after fitting my cast impeller it has pushed the inner seal down the
shaft more by 3 mm , im still able to rotate shaft with allen key but there
is an increase in tension , should i have replaced impeller with
pressed type + spacer ? or has anyone had success with cast type which
has its own spacer cast into ? i have not had chance to test on bike yet . regards archie
