I've had a very small leak this last year, so I took it to C&B Pump Rebuilders that's been around
since the 1970's. Greg Dobson tested (vacuum test) it for leaks around the seal and found nothing
and didn't charge me a cent. I had removed the impeller back cover to do something ( can't
remember why) so I thought that might be my leak. We had a long talk about the automotive
business, it was fun reminiscing about the old times. My dad (born in 1911) bought from his
company for his M&W Auto Supply business, so we had lots to talk about.
OK, so why did I post this in the Auto Body section of the forum ??? I had one of Preval Sprayers
but forgot about it, I just learned about the Preval Sprayer about 6 months ago. Therefore I
didn't get a really nice smooth surface on the water pump with a brush and a chance to try out
the Preval System. The paint was gone under the week hole, but that was before C&B repaired
the pump 2-3 years ago.
The Preval System would be very convenient for touch ups in most any situation where you
need to use a paint that does not come in a rattle can.
I tried to fix this while I had the pump off for testing and resealing the rear cover.
If it still leaks, then I should be able to tell if it is leaking from the weep hole.
