Tonight I pressed off the early one hole water pump flange and then put it on my two hole water pump shaft. This way I can fit the original larger wartime pulley on the two hole water pump fitting the engine I'm going to be using. However I find that doing this has made no room at all for fitting the throttle linkage. I've read that if I use the smaller pulley I will overspeed the water pump causing cavitation and or possible fan failure.
Any suggestions?
Or can I just put the smaller pulley that came with the two hole pump back on and use the 6 blade fan? But if I do that do I need to also change out the pulley on the generator?
