Hi@ll..

My ip is rappling like an old castle-ghost...

Q: How many miles will it take to the ip rest in pieces?
any experience?

If it makes a noise that is audible over the engine running, then you definitely need to get it overhauled. Sounds like the weight cage might be coming apart.

I would change that pump out before have a failure away from home. A tow is never cheap these days.

thx for your response...

Yes- this weight cage is a bit "flattering"- I noticed that, when I was turning up my ip...

@cougarjohn:

I dont mind- Im a lucky one... My starter collapses in front of my house last year :)

Its going to make some rattling noise. The governor weights and thrust washer will fall back and forth until you get sufficient RPM that centrifugal force can hold then out against the weight cage, so don't expect your rebuilt pump to be silent when you turn it by hand.
