Just to let you guys know you can get the whole pump assembly minus the cover from kawasaki oem parts kfx400 for about 80 bucks if you don't feel like rebuilding yours. Suzuki wants 135 for their pump, thats a savings of 55 bucks. Plus it's only a few more dollars then a full rebuild of the pump minus the hassle of doing it. Thats worth the 80 bucks to me because I know all the bearings, seals, and impeller are brand new. I would hate to rebuild mine to have a bearing that wobbles and causes premature wear. Probably wise when it's going on a motor that's getting up in age.

I am installing the mechanical seal for the waterpump. It went out after I changed my timing chain and had the side cover off. Funny thing is my friend also changed his timing chain and his started leaking too. The common denominator was that we both took our radiator hose off without draining the coolant out of the drain plug on the waterpump. I quess the back pressure in the engine took out the mechanical seal. Live and learn. Drain the coolant before taking any hoses off.

I am unable to view the pictures that go alone with the water pump seal replacement. Do they have to be online for me to view pics? The write up sounds really detailed and have one question about inserting the mechanical seal. Is this seal seated in with a hammer using a same radius coupler around the metal edge? If any could send me pics or tell me how to view them that would help finish my understanding of the full detailed report on replacing the mechanical seal. Thanks.

So I followed the detailed info link above on replacing the seals and now I have a leak worse than what I had started out with. Inside the mechanical seal there are 2 notch across from each other. Do these need to be horizontal, vertical or does it matter? Talkin with a buddy of mine he said it could possibley be the impeller shaft that has worn down and allowing coolant to leak. Any ideas? Could it have been a bad seal that was sold to me? Thanks, |
