2013 Roadster No Starty!

Yep, my assumption is what Triumph actually means is we don't sell a bearing and seal kit and recommend replacing the pump. We which is all fine and well if you actually have the pump to sell (and aren't gouging the price too much). But any bearing shop will be able to find a seal and bearings to fit, unless there is something magical about the pump.

The catalog only shows a complete unit, no serviceable parts. The pump's mechanical seal is likely a press fit type and would need to be done in a shop with the right tools.

Well I went to remove the plugs and didn't get very far since I couldn't find the 18mm spark plug wrench I shaved on the bench grinder to fit the holes on the rocket. I remembered telling my daughter to pick out a good plug socket out of the tool drawer for her a couple of months ago. Called her and sure enough that was the one she chose. I asked her why that one? "Well, it looked chewed and beat up so I didn't think you would mind me taking that one." I'll be getting it back tonight

Cross Country Triumph shows they are available, give them a jingle before you part with $204 would be my recommendation:

Engle motors in KC shows every part available and you can order it on the web but you won't get it. Ask me how I know.

You can try replacing the seal, searching the web yield's part number P99T:G858 as an aftermarket seal for the water pump. They are "available" on eBay.

This is what I'm going to do, rebuild mine if it turns out to be the pump leaking onto the crankcase. Again, I'll pull the plugs tomorrow after my plug socket shows up to see what's going on in the cylinders. Need to be sure its not the head before I throw more dollars on unneeded parts.
