If it won't run right then, then the rest will work as well as the motor and most likely it will never run. If he says he has no gas and can't start it then walk away and leave.

I't will keep them from freezing up the next time you pull them off. When you put it back together at home use antiseeze or C5A on all of the bolts and the pump impeller shafts bolt. If you can, always go to the persons house so you can see first hand what you are buying.Īlways ask to have the pump pulled off of the motor before you get there to buy a piece of equipment so you can start and run the motor and to make sure that the pump bolts are not all rusted into the housing.
