Help!!!!! While replacing the water pump gasket on my Cyprus, I noticed that the water pump impeller would spin free on its drive shaft and the shaft would spin free of it. I immediately thought the pump was bad si I removed it I noticed that it was a rebuild able unit so I took it apart. Then I noticed that it has some type of spring loaded clutch thing under the impeller.
Do these things work differently than the water pumps on a car? Do these need water pressure to engage that clutch thing? Or, do I need to get a rebuild kit or new pump?mmm

Get the kit. Impellers do not work spinning free.

It has a spring loaded clutch type thing under it That thing actually reminds me if a Torque Driver. I can see wear patterns where it was spinning on the impeller. It had to have been working some, as the bike never over heated......I simply noticed the leak one day... I have ordered the entire pump, its the same damn price so ![wtf](//storage.proboards.com/3059616/images/qv4c7hQedeGCLmpSClPA.gif) buy the kit when the while thing us available rim the same supplier as the kit for he same price? ![???](//storage.proboards.com/3059616/images/uQfospbezE7IcMUG1AtY.gif) Ain't nothing about this damn pump makes any sense.....
