I have an Annovi Reverberi XMV-3G30 pump mated to 9 HP Honda motor.
Well, the pump has decided to break off two of the plunger connecting rods from the crank.
I have not yet decided if I'm going to repair or
replace, but I'm unable to remove the pump from the motor shaft.
Do you know a way to do this. I had the same thing happen
with my GP pumps some years ago so I anti seize them to prevent this.
I just don't remember how we ended up separating them.
Thanks

Don't know,could be the key in the shaft has wore and is setting off center when trying to remove,try turning backward alittle.
 
AR usually has a set screw on the shaft. If you look for a hole in the flang near the engine you can find it. Yuo have to turn the engine shaft while looking thru the hole. Just pull the rope very slowly while looking thru the hole. It will be an Allen/ Hex screw.
There are also threaded screw holes on the flange top and bottom. Just run one of the mounting screws into each hole and screw them in alternately so you don't break off the flange. If you break the flange off you will have to destroy the pump to get it off and you may dammage the engine shaft in the process.

It went great Wiz. I found the set screw and was able to remove the pump. Now I need to find a new one, rebuild this one,
or use the motor on something else.
It is a little small, well I mean a lot smaller than I like. I'm currently using 11hp honda's but would like to step up to a 13
with at least 5gpm flow.
Thanks again.

Spray some penetrating oil arount the set screws and let it soak before trying to remove screws.

Thanks Steve it worked great. Now I need to decide what to do with it seeing how it is a much smaller engine and pump than I'm used to. I may have an idea soon I don't like to make quick and rash decisions if you know what I mean. Like they say, haste makes waste. : )

Hey Big Boy, It turned out to be a set screw just as Wiz predicted, but I know what you mean about the shaft keys, my GP pumps can really put some force on them. Plus all the water tends to set up rust so I now put anti-seize on them for easy maintenance.
 
Antisieze is not recommended by the manufacture. Some Manufactures will void the warranty if you use it. However. Silicon will not void the warantee. Sundel is a great alternative. http://www.generalpump.com/PDFs/Sundel.pdf

Hey Wiz,
Good to see you still around. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I have to admit I didn't see your follow-up
post after mine thanking you for the advice. I have been using these boards for a while and I always hate it when people don't
report back on their projects. It only took me what, 14 years. LOL
Anyways---
I'd be afraid to find the price of that stuff. I have no warranty to void. The pumps I'm using I bought more than 25 years ago
and the anti-seize has been working just fine for the last 20 when I fought to get it off the first time. Man, I don't even think
I would want to silly-cone that together. I have used silicone to glue some things in the past. : ) Then again I don't know the
construction parameters of the new style pumps as they may be different. Mine is just my steel crankshaft and a blind steel bore
on my gearbox. Do the new ones even use gearboxes anymore? I dunno.
 
As a mater of fact I am a US Air Force Vet.
I use to be an Avionics Specialist working on F15 Fighter Jets! LOL
