    No noticeable difference OD in the original and Honda impeller

    Half of the vanes on the Honda impeller are always bent,
    and the other’s appear to at least make contact.
    Should they all be bent more when in the housing?

    I’m making a impeller driver out of an old brass prop shaft
    so I can play around with it easier, and it not having to
    be mounting in the mid section.
    I turned down the shaft where needed, and added a plastic
    bushing on the bottom side for my driver shaft to fit
    in snug.
    I drilled three holes in the shaft and soldered in some 1/8″ brass rod.
    Going back out now that it’s cooled off, and grind down the pins so
    the impeller will slide over.
    Maybe a waste of time, but better than falling asleep watching TV!
