quote fleetwin:
Hmmm, I know I have run into this before….I think there are two different size seals (OD) used on these units….
Will look in later years 6hp models to see if there is a different part number. Does it look like your unit has been apart before? If so, perhaps someone replaced the upper seal/bushing housing assembly….

Yeah Fleetwin the water pump was upgraded to the newer plastic housing witch takes the smaller impeller, i don’t know if they had to use a different shaft seal plate for it, and if they did what seal would be the correct one?
