Kingfisher engine problem

[teeve]

We had a bit of a problem with our water pump on a Kingfisher KD26 engine, so are looking for a new, refurbished or replacement one. Does anyone have one or know where we can get hold of one?

It's not so much of a vintage but is just very old!

Thanks in anticipation!

If you do not already know about it have a look at Kingfisher site. I( think there is something about water pumps in their forum.

Hi Ian,

 

Do you need spare parts or is it a problem with the pump body?

 

Here's a link for Jabsco water pump 5870KD spares.

 

There is also a model 5870 which was supplied for Lister Petter engines and which may have common parts.

Hi bjornunda

 

The problem stemmed from a loose pulley nut after previous investigation of a water leak, which resulted in the nut dropping off and the pulley, driven by the V-belt, grinding into the shaft and resulting in a huge 1" hole.

Clever chap Neil at Clifton Cruisers made a super weld build-up job as a makeshift solution (so far, so good) but chances are it's not a permanent answer. Finding a replacement pump is my first option.

Oops! Spare parts are not a lot of help then and neither am I, sorry.

There's no reason why it shouldn't be a permanent solution!
