Very ingenious Travis.

BTW: I have the O rings that you need to seal the pump.


I am not sure if it is O rings, but I know there is only 1 ball bearing in the pump.    I’m not sure if there is supposed to be 2.

I’d really need someone to take apart their water pump on another Doll engine and tell me what seals the pump shaft and if there is 2 ball bearings not 1.  I wouldn’t want someone to do that on a working pump.  I’m trying to find diagrams but it’s very hard on this old of an engine. But knowing me I’m a perfectionist. 

I tried looking through that book you gave me but didn’t find that model.
