Had an engine runaway on our way back from St Pete to Apollo Beach (12 miles). Had no idea what to do. The Admiral put the tranny in reverse, which shut down the engine. Found out that the raw water pump gasket failed and put water in the engine. Replaced the pump and could not start the engine. Pulled the injector pump and one was frozen. My mechanic says that there is a spring that needs to be replaced. Westerbeke does not sell the spring. The pump is over $1500. Does anyone know of a source for the "spring"? If not, do I replace the engine? Still do not know if the runaway caused any further damage to the engine.
