I took the pump to a marine pump guy and he said to just replace the seals. He also told me that I probably was my own worst enemy, I put too much grease in. He told me 1/2 pump every 6 months with a 10 oz gun. I blew the seals out.
In the last 10 days I have put in a new rwc impeller, rebuilt the starter, new solenoid, new hoses to the rwc, cleaned the strainer and dropped the carburetor and cleaned it. Now new impeller and seals in the fwc. I am hoping for a respite. But I have to admit it has been pretty reliable until now.
