What to do if my Ironton 750131 Water Pump fails to prime?

If your Ironton Water Pump fails to prime, several factors could be at play. Start by ensuring the priming chamber has enough water; if not, add more. Check for air leaks in the suction line joints, looking for loose screws or broken hoses. Examine the quick coupling gaskets for wear and replace them if needed. Tighten or replace any loose or broken hose clamps. If the priming chamber is overheated, pour cold water into it or allow it to cool. Ensure the engine speed isn't too slow, and increase it if necessary. Lastly, inspect the volute, impeller, and mechanical seal for wear or breakage, replacing any compromised components.
