hey Buccaneer. thanks for the reply. your diagram is different from mine. mine is a parts catalogue for a 571.58571. since your diagram does not show a gasket, and mine does, does that mean that the gasket is not necessary for the proper function of the water pump? your diagram also has a part 34 that mine does not have. I made part # 35 (your diagram) out of a stainless washer since mine was broken. Since I have no water coming out of my water tube, when I turn the shaft with a drill, I am assuming several possibilities. 1 my adapted impeller is not working. 2 water is not getting to the impeller 3 water is leaking out the top of the water pump along the drive shaft. this problem should not be that difficult to troubleshoot but once I put the motor leg over my impeller I can’t see what’s happening. Any little tricks to find out if my impeller is working. thanks again.
