First, I would like to say thank you for this website being here. I had a heck of a time just trying to find the model and serial numbers for my motor. I finally found them on the "shiny plug thingy" :rolleyes: as mentioned in a few posts.. <br /><br />The motor has stopped pumping water unless I prime the passages first, so I suspect the impeller is bad. I'm ordering the manual and impeller kit for it, but I would like to know if there are any tricks besides what the instructions might say, or not be too clear on, about getting everything apart to change the impeller. Also, is there a t-stat in this motor?<br /><br />TIA

The manual should cover it all. The thermostat is under the plate that exists on top of the cylinder head, the plate that's attached with three bolts/screws.
