Put in my new water pump. Mixed the full better and it took a bit of adjustment but got it running. But can't keep it cool. So we took the LU back off and checked the water pump. Everything still seems good. Pulled the tube that hook from the motor to the water pump out and found two fins of a old water pump in the tube. Right at the end. Cleaned out that tube. Everything back together and still not enough cooling. Wondering if more fins are up in the motor or blocking the hole going into the motor. Can't really see all that well all the way up into there. Any advise?
Also seemed to have messed up the cable for neutral so I gotta find a new one. No luck so far. Any ideas where to get one? Its a cable with a lead looking cylinder on the end.
Seems the housing that goes over the water pump is messed up. Its bent and letting most of the water go out the sides of the pump. The seals are also shot in it. So I am shaving the bottom off with the lathe and getting some new seals. It has a hole in the side of the water pump. Looks drilled to me. Not sure if its suppose to be there or not. Seems like a odd place for a seal unless its some type of pressure relief hole.
I took the LU off the motor and hooked a electric pump up to the motor and fired it up. Pumping 60 degree water thru it and running the motor. It never got over 100 degrees on the casing of the motor. Just gotta get the pump to pump enough water.
