I saw this on EBAY and I'm curious. I see there is little information on actual pump numbers available for these RD's. I mean, the parts inside them etc are shown, but YAMAHA left the entire pump assembly off the parts fiche's that I've found.
So, what is this pump: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124915803284
Are the bodies the same for the RD? What do you think he damaged when messing with it? I found it hard to tell.
The gear inside has been damaged by attempting to fit it to an incompatible wormshaft. The numbers are just patent numbers. There are a few different types of castings, that need a different thrust washer arrangement for the wormshaft. Reinforced external webs on later castings too.

I'm not buying it, but as far as pumps are concerned, what's been your experience with NOS pumps? Are they worth it, or is it just a major expense for no real point? I.E. rebuild?
It depends in what environment they've been kept in. Dirt ingress is a no no. Also I wouldn't trust any seal, over say 25 years old.
