BakoBanshee Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 (edited) My riding buddy just picked up a 1986 Honda 250R quad and it is leaking coolant from what looks like a small drain hole underneath the water pump housing. Is this hole a "wear indicator" similar to those found under the water pumps on cars and trucks? If so, what all needs to be replaced, i.e. impeller, shaft, seal, o-ring??? Is it easy to do? What's the average costs? Also, did the '86 have an over-flow resevoir for the coolant, because we couldn't find one? Thanks for any help guys. Edited February 20, 2006 by BakoBanshee Quote
akita8 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 I believe its a weep hole. The seal for the pump is 30-40 bucks and it's not that hard to change. The 86's have an overflow bottle mounted on the left rear. Quote
