Is the 1985 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft compatible with the 86-2001 Honda CR 500 water pump gear shaft?

I have a 1985 CR 500 and the water pump gear shaft broke. It has been discontinued from Honda, and no one else has it. It is a metal gear. The one's for the 1986-2001 CR 500 are plastic. If I have to use plastic, I will. However, I prefer not to. If anyone knows where I can get the OEM 1985 Honda CR 500 gear shaft, I would forever be grateful.

Hi so you pays your money and you take a chance

  • Vertical shaft engine directly to a gear box? I have a honda vertical shaft 5.5 hp engine and i'm making a go kart out of wood. Could I directly connect the gear box that has the engaging part on it, to the engine? Do I need to put a chain? I'm trying to make this as simple as possible thanks. Ps. I'm only 13 and although I have a good vocabulary please talk in 13 year old words.
  • How can I stop water from flowing back into my Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet when the heavy duty hose attached gets blocked? I have a 1000l take of water attached to a Honda WB30 Water Pump 1100 LPM 80mm Outlet, alongside a heavy duty hose I use to water window boxes around London. When I park up the van and have to cross the road to water certain jobs, the pipe is occasionally temporarily blocked when a car runs over the hose pipe. This sends water back to the pump, and eventually breaks it. What can I do to stop the water/ pressure breaking the pump?
  • 1985 honda shadow vt500c any compatible ICM's from other bikes? Will the ICM from another bike fit? Its starting to look like i'm going to have to SCRAP my baby because i can no longer get a 50$ part and was wondering if any other ICM's from other bikes would work in a 1985 VT500c honda shadow.
  • Honda Jazz won't take water in the water fill cap? I recently purchased a Honda jazz 2005 mode from a garage, top condition. I'm going on a long journey tomorrow and routinely like I would with any car I checked the water and oil levels. (cold engine). Water level was halfway between min and max so I attempted to top it up with coolant mix, however, as in poured the h20/coolant mixture into the water tank it just came straight back up as though the tank was full, although I can see it's only half full. Any ideas?
