I got a 1275 one from Karcraft last year.
$54.37 now for the hi-vol one.
998 one is $35.91, not sure about its impeller, ask. :wink:

I dont think they make the old cast iron type any more. May be able to find some one who can recondition an old one? Most of the new water pumps are cast alloy including the hi flow one I have and the standard mini pumps have a pressed steel impeller.

By cast iron he was referring to the impeller only. As you say, you can't get a proper cast iron pump anymore, however you can get an alloy one and paint it to match the engine, no one will know. :lol:

Not all standard pumps have the pressed steel impeller. Some do come with a cast impeller. Best to ask the seller.

The last two pumps I bought has a cast iron impellor.
I thought it was the steel ones that you can't get anymore.
