You have to find out which Mitsu engine it is and for this you need to look up the number that is on the block, near the governor, not on a plate. Honestly, its not worth it... I went that
route and even bought the right Mitsu
parts manual to no avail... It ain't easy to find Mitsu tractor
parts in North America and apparently much easier in
Europe, but then the
price differential is a wash.
In your case, it would not help anyway - find out which pump it is and either
rebuild or try to source it from somewhere else. Westerbeke does not make anything, they just marinize a Mitsu engine (sometimes others) and
paint it red. But having said that, I have one on my
boat and had on my previous, super good engines.
