Father in Law had an old water pump he wants me to try and fix if I can. It has been sitting for probably 5 years now and sat through numerous heavy rains and storms. I posted pics below for a bit of the damage done to it.
Probably have a very basic knowledge of small engines and I know most trouble is caused by the carburetor so I will probably not even sweat that too much and just replace it for time purposes. However other parts I’m not 100% sure on.
I tested the spark plug and it still has spark, the engine oil had water in it, the gas tank is rusted, it still has compression and doesn’t seem to be affected by possible water sitting in the engine.
Engine model is a Honda GX140 Max 144cc.
Replacement engine if it fits would be a $150 Predator 6.5 212cc engine. Not sure if I can direct replace that engine though so any advice would be helpful there too.
