Is this normal
Wanted to start working on the engine , so I decided to begin replacing the impeller. I removed the cover and discovered that the impeller is squished on the right side ....is this normal ??

They need to be offset so they create vacuum. Proabbly OK unless the center appears broken or loose.
If you believe something to be true, it will be - in it's consequences.

yes that is totally normal, however the surprising to see some of the arms pointing in the opposite direction, I'm taking it you are replacing it...a pair of large needlenose visegrips some silicone spray lube and bingo its out, rotate the new one in a clockwise rotation as thats the way it spins.......I wouldn't put the new one in untill your ready to use it no sense in compressing the arms when not necessary...

Does the new impeller come with a gasket as well ? The reason i'm asking is because I was reading through cab's winterization , some of you remove the impeller for the winter but what about the gasket, since it's no good anymore once removed do they sell them apart ?

Whenever I've bought a new impeller they always came with a new gasket. Give skidim.com a call.

As per the posts before this, yes most come with gaskets. However my last impeller came from the dealer and they just gave me the impeller (no gasket or lubricant). When I changed I was carefull and used the old gasket and no problem at all this season. Visually inspect it when you have the cover off and it might be just fine. If there is a new one in the kit though - why not use it Originally Posted by davinci
