oil flooded out from jet

[alamohydroseed]

my 1989 sp runs super. but last fall I replaced the wear ring and impeller. when i started it on the trailer after the repairs the impeller scraped a bit at first but then it smoothed out quickly. then all of the gear oil dumped out the back! yikes...what did I do... or not do?

Your bearings may be bad. That the pump off the hull... and check it out. You will feel some "in-out" movement... but there shouldn't be any "Side to side" movement. If you do... time to rebuild the pump.

you could've pinched the o-ring thats around the cone.

Sounds like you didnt have it sealed good with the o ring. Did you pressure test it?

new to pwc. didnt pressure test. just replaced imp and ring. found a bad thrust bearing and replaced it then re assemled using silicone. didnt let the silicone dry very long. maybe that was it
