remove pump off engine inquiry
Well Bob did say plug the intake and you said you were with Bob on this. I think that threw me off, but with your further elaboration/explanation [b:95191fbc52]I get it now[/b:95191fbc52]. Thanks showcrop for spelling it out for me. I'm certainly relieved to know I don't even need to remove... -

remove pump off engine inquiry
In order to fill water up to at least the center of the shaft within the pump casing, it seems I'd need to have the intake plugged/capped off (as previously advised), and then fill the casing with water via the one of the discharge outlets. I surmise then that any water below the level of the... -

Very good to hear that about the exhaust Venturi and the impeller. So if I just cap/plug that pump intake and then just fill up the casing with water then I should be good to go? Doesn't that water just immediately exit the discharge though? Also, another thought I have is wouldn't testing... -

That makes sense and I could do that too. That'd probably be a little more trouble than just plugging the intake and just pouring the pump full of water (per Bob) and then making sure to keep water over the center line of the pump (per showcrop). Any comments on which method might be... -

Very good to hear.^ I'll just keep some water over the center line of the pump as per the advice, and then[b:3b87010c92] won't worry about it [/b:3b87010c92](much). Mine too happens to have the exhaust Venturi primer as mentioned. I understand those [i:3b87010c92]can[/i:3b87010c92] be rather... -

No, believe me, I don't want to be be disassembling the pump unnecessarily. I appreciate any valid advice/suggestion that will allow me to play with the engine until my heart's content with the pump still attached, but not pumping water. I didn't realize, and wouldn't have thought, that all I'd... -

Yeah that's what I thought. Can't be running the pump without water. So, at least gotta remove that impeller, but not necessarily the whole pump? Or I suppose that pretty much is the whole pump? Okay castle nut right hand thread, got it. Thanks. And thanks for the good luck wish cause I'll... -

Yeah I wonder about those apparent "metal wedge" looking things on the castellations too. Not sure what you mean by "catch the end" and pry though, to try to drive them down flat. Hopefully these aren't those kind (the kind you mentioned you saw before on a shaft with one flat side), and... -

Okay then probably right hand threaded nut, thanks. Not too excited to hear the impeller might also be threaded onto the shaft though. -

Yeah if you are John I am wondering did you ever get that picture of the flywheel you asked for and I emailed you? Because you said you were trying to identify a model 23 not . Got no reply. -

remove pump off engine inquiry
I've been wondering for sure about whether I need to worry about running the engine/pump with no water. I have instructions for a later model similar design portable pump where there are two specific statements that lead me to believe (apparently erroneously?) that I shouldn't. 1. "Never run... -

I suppose, as suggested, someone used a steel cotter pin and it rusted away or that was the only stainless steel nut they had so they used it. In regard to checking the thread to find out whether its left-handed or not, is there some way I can tell just by looking at it? And, once I do get... -

Okay, thanks for the replies. Yeah okay a castle nut. I've seen/heard of those in the past but really haven't had much in the way of experience using/dealing with them. I'm fairly certain I saw no cotter pin there on the nut. I'll try to find out for certain whether it's gonna be left handed or... -

I acquired an old 1960 era WS Darley portable fire pump. The pump is on the PTO end of the engine shaft (Briggs & Stratton model 23A). I'm wanting to remove/separate the pump from the engine, so I can feel free to test run the engine (without having to worry about running the pump while... -

JOB, I posted at the end of the following thread (link included below) in regard to the old Briggs engine you were talking about in that that thread. If you get the chance can you take a look please. I have a similar engine that is set up to run a pump similar to yours and I'd like to discuss...- sgull
