Hello all,
Please indulge a repeat topic. I've read here about repacking and expectations. I am still looking for more information.
I re-packed with new flux and am not sure if my results are satisfactory.
I have NO dripping when shut down. When underway at 2000 rpm, which is about 1000 rpm on shaft, I see one drip every 10-15 seconds. The packing gland is about 165°. I am thinking I should have a greater drip rate and a lower temperature. I read once tightened too much you can not loosen and get good results and that a "re-do" is necessary.
PLEASE way in.
Thanks, Steve
