water pump cover problems

[mike#187]

i have a 2011 mxr 90 and put the stage 6 pvl in and ever since then i cant get the waterpump housing to slide over the rubber grommets that are on the mag and the bolts back out everytime my son rides it and it over heats. any help would be nice.

Use loctite on the gromet studs and applie a little grease to the grommets. As for the overheating sounds like its air bound. When you get the cover back on take the clamp off the upper hose on the water pump and wiggle the hose off slowly till fluid starts to come out. This will let the air out of the pump housing, there is also a bleader screw on the top of the cylinder.

I assuming you have the adapter plate on our you would never even get the water cover to go. When to get the cover on, look through the front where the plastic cover is and check the position of those rubber grommets. Some times the adapter plate used for the stage 6 PVL has the gromments extending all the way through the plastic wheel and the fling off easy.
