Water inlet Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: General Discussion Forum Discription: Anything Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=49841 Printed Date: March-04-2025 at 5:08am Topic: Water inlet Posted By: Netcott Subject: Water inlet Date Posted: May-23-2021 at 10:23pm I bought a 73 mustang 16 that had been taken apart for a restore and when I bought it, it was a box of parts. After restoring it over the winter I finally took it out today for a leak test. I initially had an overheating problem that I resolved after pulling the hose past the pre water pump and sucking on it until I got water. After that, the hose flowed water and the temps went down. Pre pump has new impeller and I am certain I have the in and out correct. As far as the rest of the cooling I assembled it based on pictures so something might not be correct but I'm pretty sure it is. My question is this, is the inlet supposed to have a check valve to keeps it primed? It seemed like it struggled to prime but was good after it did.

Sounds like you are sucking some air via leaks. Double check all your hose connections.  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete <
