Re: new impeller wont pump

Are you using a flush attachment or sticking it in a bucket of water? I would use a barrel before going any further to be sure. If it still doesn't pump, time to tear it back down and check all the gaskets and clearances. Has to be pulling air somewhere.

Also, check the basics. Is the key in the driveshaft/ impeller? Is the water tube engaged properly? Sometimes it seems like you need a third hand to get everything lined up when you are putting it back together. By the way, you must be a pretty fair mechanic to have kept this motor running all these years.

Have you tried sticking a small wire in the pee hole? Sometimes they clog up there.
