long storage blues
I finally hauled my 26 2 door coach home from 9 years of storage
(including a trip past dept motor vehicles) in hopes of finding
time to work on it. I really thought that the fuel system had been
drained.....wrong... vacuum tank was a mess...fixable but foul
smelling ... have not adressed the gas tank yet, but I did notice
moisture on the bottom of it ouch.
But the big problem is ......the engine (that I plan to repace
anyway) will not turn over. I oiled the cyls and I can "rock" the
engine but the water pump shaft appears to be stuck. I've done
the simple stuff like grease the pump and spray penatrant on it
but to no avail.. I cannot budge the nut on the front of the water
pump at all, and don't recall how to remove the assy to repair it...
could someone give me a little insight on this (either "busting it
loose" or if necessary removing and repairing it????
Thanks... Bill
