burhead Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 I went to swap the clutch cover from my old motor to the "new motor" I bout off of flea bay tonight. I noticed that the tube that goes to the head from the water pump was loose where it goes through the case. I looked at my other motor and it appears that it it welded in place. This one is clearly not welded and moves back and forth but it is held in by a small retainer clip. So I was wondering if I could just aply some JB weld on the outside of the case to keep it from leaking and to help hold it in place. Has anyone had this part break loose before? Quote
T_Shee Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 mines loose too. i thought it was normal. hasnt caused me any problems Quote
sheerider1026 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 it is perfectly normal, if yours is leaking, replace the oring.. Quote
FireHead Posted July 21, 2009 Report Posted July 21, 2009 it is perfectly normal, if yours is leaking, replace the oring.. However, welded in place is not normal. Get rid of the welded setup. :geek: Quote

burhead Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Posted July 21, 2009 wow you guys are fast. Yea I just went out and starte scraping around the old one and it isnt welded it is some kind of sealant around it. it looked like it was brazed (like when plumbers join their piping) turned out it was just some grey sealant of some sort. so is that necessary because the new motor doesnt have it?

No sealant needed the o ring seals it. :cool: Quote
