2022 Kymco AK550 anti-freeze leak

Bad news.
I think the parts I was sent don't match exactly with the model AK I have. They all looked exactly the same as the parts I took out. And I was VERY careful to install them the same as the parts I took out. But today when I finally had time to finish I started pouring coolant into the radiator and noticed that it simply started to drain out the weep hole as if there were no seals installed.
That's not right.

My next move is to take it to the dealer to let them make it right.

My wife is implying that I made a mistake buying a Kymco since it isn't a mainstream brand for the USA with a local dealer.

Wow Bob, that’s not good news. I think in your place I’d be taking the same course!  Hey, you gave it a good shot, no shame in admitting defeat and handing it over to the professionals who will (hopefully) have access to all the necessary manufacturers’ expertise!

Hope you get it resolved quickly and that SWMBO quickly moves onto another topic…

Sorry to read! There is only one original water pump replacement kit from KYMCO. Has its price though.

I bought all the parts except the impeller and the oil side bearing. The parts I didn't replace looked and worked in perfect condition.
