Impeller seal??
reklessj:
Took my baby out for it's first ride after sitting for 9 months. Ran great but now no coolant in rads and oil sight glass over full. Hoping it's just impeller seal. Any thoughts? :-(
Foxx4Beaver:
Is the oil grey/white now?

Yep!!
It was only like a ten minute ride, Just to make sure she was ready for the big weekend. Didn't notice till I pulled off the stand to load her up. Oil coolant mixture on the stand from vent I suppose

Bingo! :-)
Though until you actually pull it apart, you won't know for sure, but there's a 99.99% probability that's the problem.
Once they sit for a prolonged amount of time, they do dry out/rot, and the shaft can get rusty/pitted.
Try to fire her
up every few weeks if you think it's gunna be a while til your next outing...keep things lubricated. :mrgreen:
