volcrano Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 hi guys,changed my clutch cover to a see thru direct drive i believe.with the impeller and pin installed,i put the gear on and fit it to drive pin and installed the washer and e clip.it moves about 1/8"in and out.didnt notice on other one when took it apart.it looks like it would have to be stationary or it could slide back off the drive pin and you could lose it in the case to cause catastrophy oand overheat.has anybody dealt with this.i was going to put 2 washers on instead of 1 to take up the slack so there is none.everything was installed correctly,im not liking the slack.would 2 washers hurt?i wouldnt think so but want opinions,thanks!

Hilarious Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 anybody have this happen?should there be slack?? the last motor i put together was like that. i wouldn't put an extra washer in there either. the best i can tell is that the slack is supposed to be in there. when you pull the slack out and turn the gear, the impellar vanes make contact with the inner pump surface inside the clutch cover.

papa_smurf49319 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Posted April 1, 2010 your talking about pulling back on the plastic water pump gear from inside the clutch cover right? Cause if you are i just did that to one i have apart and there is some slack there aswell so im sure that is normal. Hope this helps Cody Quote

Hope this helps Cody 2 brains cant lie!i tried to get a yamaha e clip but no luck but i went to home depot and grabbed one.not exactly the same but the old one was not grabbing.took cut off wheel to shorten the home depot one and it fits good and is hard enough to try and remove.when on,i pulled the gear back to try and separate from drive pin.it didnt slip off so i guess you guys are right,there is like 1/8" slack but it stays on drive pin and im running it.thanks for the info.next time i will pay more attention before disassembly but you guys were a huge help and i got it back together tonite!
