Well I went to lowes and they sold a 1/16 brass pin (solid not plated) about 4″ long and the diameter was a perfect fit for the impeller pin that goes in the driveshaft. Cut it down to correct length and put everything back together and it’s finally chugging water out the exhaust and not overheating. I rebuilt the carb before all this and it will start and run at high idle but not at low idle yet. With the cooling problem solved at least I can tinker with it now. Thanks for the help.

It's a jungle out there.
