RKL-24 (62 Johnson 40hp) Excellant cond. hasn't run since 89 so I recond everything except pistons rings (88psi comp). Problem, have new pump impeller, plate, tube grommets, seals, o-rings, T-stat and housing, pump housing looks to be in good shape so it wasint replaced. engine runs great but pump will only prime at higher rpm (25-3000) then it will hold prim till low rpm for a while or shut off, then have to reprime again. hesitating to buy a new housing due to cost would like to reline but cant find the part, is there a possible problem I'm missing? took it all apart just to do it and found nothing wrong, everything looks new, cuz it is. any help is appreciated.
