Onan 132-0309 Water Pump Gasket
The Onan 132-0309 Water Pump Gasket is a sealing gasket for the Onan pump joint it serves. Besides stopping leaks, it holds the correct standoff between the two faces it separates, so the impeller and wearplate keep their designed clearance. Reusing a crushed or torn gasket changes that clearance and costs the pump flow.
A weeping joint on the suction side of a raw water pump is worse than it looks. The pump draws air rather than pushing water out, so it primes slowly or not at all while showing almost no external leak. Fitting a new gasket and cleaning the faces is the first thing to do when a pump loses its prime overnight. This part is listed for Onan water pump 132-0284 on MAJB 2.5 and 3.0 kW generator sets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How should I prepare the faces?
Scrape off all the old material, avoid gouging the metal, then wipe both faces with solvent so they are dry and oil free.
Q: What torque should the fasteners be pulled to?
Follow the figures in your Onan service literature and tighten in a cross pattern, working up to the final torque in stages.
Q: Why does my pump lose prime with no visible leak?
A gasket on the suction side can draw air without passing water outward. That is exactly the failure that makes a pump slow to prime.
Q: Should I buy more than one?
Most owners keep a spare aboard, since a torn gasket during a service will otherwise stop the job until a new one arrives.
