Can a water pump go out on a Polaris twins?
Yes the mech seal in the pump can be an area where coolant could get into the engine, but I really have not heard of that many on the twins, the tripples were really bad for the seal going out. The tripples need to have the water pump rebuilt about every 4k miles.
