Leaking Water pump on AT
Well amongst all the other jobs of recommissioning a AT that has stood in the garden for three years unstarted is a leaking water pump
Prior to test starting her ( fresh petrol/ carbs cleaned/ car battery on jump leads.) I checked the water levels ( non existant!) I put fresh water in and found the system was EMPTY The reason became obvious, the water is P***ing out of the overflow on the water pump. Theres no oil leaking/ theres no water in the oil Its an RD07a model Is is possible to fit a new seal ( water) to the pump? Cheers all PS: I still haven't started the beast, If it sounds really rough I shall make a decision on restoring or Breaking the AT Dooh unhappy Magwa

Re: Leaking Water pump on AT
If you need a replacement pump (and you will if it's pissing out of the pump overflow) I have a used one in my box of spares that may be of some use to you. Let me know.

I can't get back to working on the bike for 4 days ( shift work) As fast as you put the water in it was running out of the overflow at the bottom I haven't even had chance to take it apart as yet Cheers

Re: Leaking Water pump on AT
No probs. Drop me a PM when you've had a look. I'll dig it out of the spares box and make sure it's okay (came from a running bike and didn't leak so should be fine).

Re: Leaking Water pump on AT
Hi I tried to get a seal for Sharrie's @ but taking the pump apart is a mare. It is cheaper to change the pump, and quicker in the long run. but if you do change the pump do not drain the oil until you have fitted a new pump as the drive for the pump sits in the bottom of the sump and the oil runs out.

Re: Leaking Water pump on AT
What you might find, if it's running out really fast, is that the water pump casing where the hose joins may have corroded away and fractured. If it's the seal, it's usually just a tiny trickle or a weep coming out.
What J means is that changing the pump should be done with the oil drained.

I can't get near the bike for two more days ( I'm on 12hr night shifts) I guess the pump is U/s from the speed it leaks out! The water is from the overflow/outlet Magwa
