MaddieCycle Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hello. Has anyone sourced a new o-ring for the windshield washer pump on the bottom cover? I think these are the same for all years and models, I got this pump from a salvage yard and don't remember the year or engine it came off. 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Is it just a rubber o ring? Hardware store or irrigation supply has those in stock usually 2 Quote Link to comment

Was just wondering if someone knew exact size or part number so I could just order rather than go rummage through 3 hardware stores before finding one with it in stock 😉 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Probably a flat rubber washer. Scissors and a bicycle inner tube or w/e. 1 Quote Link to comment
MaddieCycle Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 It actually looks like it is triangular in cross section. 19mm diameter x 1.25mm thickness. I'll see what I can scrape up, otherwise I'll break out the RTV. 1 Quote Link to comment
captain720 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Try some sheet rubber, you can just buy a sheet of rubber and cut shapes out of it. Also big inner tubes work great and can be had at a tire shop free Edited September 18, 2021 by captain720 1 Quote Link to comment
MaddieCycle Posted September 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 It is a very fussy and tight fit. Hardware store o-rings did not fit - too thick. I just screwed the cover back on and sealed the seam with Lexel. We'll see how it holds. 1 Quote Link to comment
