Any thoughts on this? Finally put the Skylark up for hibernation 10-22-08.Was 49 degrees this morn! I'd never make it up north! Upon tearing down my RWP, a Sherwood, I found a hole, about 3/16" deep! Any concerns you think? It's on the front side, the pulley side

That's weird. I would have it brazed/welded whateever they do to brass. Are you going to change the seal kit? ------------- Tim D |

Nothing's leaking. What do you think? Do they still make a rebuild kit for this style? 6/21/1965 Build date.Or would it just be a take apart and take to our local bearings seal shop,Shawn Products I think. Although we could probally get one, I work for CarQuest.The bushing is cracked on my backplate too but I think it's OK. I've only changed the impeller 2 times since 1970! the first time was in the late 80's when the first one came apart.The 2nd one was 2006.It only had 2 vanes missing. Yes I have been finding pieces every now and then in exhaust drains ,end caps,etc.

depco pumps will have the parts for it, as for the hole a little silfos will close that up, or for that matter probably a little epoxy stick ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

It looks like a small casting flaw, if it doesn't leak, I'd leave it alone. If it does leak I would either soft solder of epoxy it. All parts for Sherwood pumps should still be available. ------------- Charlie Three Lakes, Wisconsin 69 Barracuda |

You can still get the seal kit.
the bearing is nothing special, just standard size, it's actually the same as a throw out bearing for a car, you can get it at napa. The graphite bushing is availible too. http://www.reddenmarine.com/site/new-categories.cfm?counter=1&brand=0&action=Search&letter=0&department=0&category=0&subcategory=0&text=sherwood - http://www.reddenmarine.com/site/new-categories.cfm?counter=1&brand=0&action=Search&letter=0&department=0&category=0&subcategory=0&text=sherwood ------------- Tim D |
