Rob,

Check out our Critical Upgrades topic on our C34 Message Board, reply #11: http://c34.org/bbs/index.php/topic,5078.0.html

There are lotsa links on that topic about other things, too, also to our C34 Tech wiki with lots of info on your engine:

You can get an Oberdorfer. Ours is just great compared to the Sherwood. Much easier access to the faceplate to change the impeller. You can't get discount prices on a Sherwood. DEPCO does Oberdorfers, try a search on our MB on that word, lots of reading.

Either redo the seals, the pump usually is just fine, or swap the pump.

just went thru this, Depco was far more competitive on the impeller, seals and pump than several other well-known suppliers for Universal parts.
