[Jakem1]

why do you think the beeper/ guages work but now it only cranks but doesn’t start?

spark, fuel, compression.

Mix or no

make sure the contacts inside the dess key are clean as well

Hey man now it cranks and starts and everything seems to work but now it’s leaving water from the crank seal, I’m not sure what you would call this part.

It’s leaking from the black piece.

your gear clamps are not tight.

 

[rusty nail]

and the gear clamp closest to the engine should not be on the carbon ring....it should be on the bellow only clamped to the carbon ring.

your gear clamps are not tight.

I loosened them after I took it out the water

 

[rusty nail]

can you point to where exactly the water is coming in.

around that clamp

 

[rusty nail]

you are sure the leak is not between the steel "hat" and the carbon ring?

 

[rusty nail]

if the leak is where you say it is you may need to inspect the bellow for any tears. or the carbon ring is damaged

 

[rusty nail]

if you cannot get the gear clamp to make it stop leaking you will need to pull the pump off and inspect all those parts for damage. if there is a leak between the stainless steel "hat" and the carbon ring you should check to see if the engine is aligned properly. There is a tool for this. if it is badly out of alignment the "hat" will not seal properly to the carbon ring or it could have premature uneven wear.

i even tightened the clamp as much as I could and it still leaking not as fast, what is your suggestion on how to do this bc I don’t know where to start.

 

[rusty nail]

take that clamp right off and rotate the bellow around to see for signs of damage, holes, tears.

 

[rusty nail]

the water can look like it is coming from one spot and it might be coming from another....get a small mirror if you need to see the underside while it is running to see exactly where the water is coming from.

[Jakem1]

Not sure if it’s cracked or supposed to be like that and Are you talking about taking the black piece off?

 

[rusty nail]

i do not see any obvious damage. do you?

 

[rusty nail]

can you see exactly where the water is coming in?
