Rummy,
Is this something I can do? My water pump also gave out at the begining of
the season. Got a parts diagram from a local dealer, unbelievably a water
pump kit was in stock, worked off the parts diagram and replaced the the
impeller myself. So I'm somewhat mechanical. Can you give a brief
instruction on what to do? Any possibly complications I might experience?
I was able to locate the diaphram (2 sited) you speak of off the carbeurator
diagram online (thanks to Mike). I suppose just order the parts and off I
go?
Thanks,
Michael
