plumster Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Hi chaps, just beem out to the garage to run the motors & oil up the chrome for hibernation when:- Engine fired up (as always) but fan belt was schreeching, had a look & water pump & alternator not turning at all, only run for 10 seconds or so. Switched off, turned it by hand & fired her back up, everything spinning ok, but I noticed water trickling from underneath, probably the water pump, switched off immedietly. Now then what do you reckon has popped, water pump? Oiled up me bumpers, ran the bike for 20 minutes & shut the garage door, what's the next step? I assume, radiator out & put new water pump on, unless you guys can point me to something else. Cheers Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the signs of frozen coolant or maybe siezed water pump, I hope for your sake that it is not frozen though.You do need more than just 25% of antifreeze for the temeratures that we are having in some parts of the Country these last few days.

MANTAMAN Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Sounds like the water pump has gone, the biggest problem is the bottom bolt of the water pump is behind the bottom pully wheel the bolt through which will be tighter than a ducks R'se!

plumster Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Reeto, when it's a bit warmer I'll have a strip down & pop a new water pump on, will be a good opportunity to have a good system flush out I suppose. Now then, where exactly is that there water pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
