Putting packing in a pump can be channeling. Too loose and it leaks, too tight you will burn the packing and the shaft. Packing has to leak a little just to keep it lube and keep it from burning. The object is to have it leak with the grease instead of water. After installing new packing keep the nut loose (Tighter than finger tight but no more than about 20 foot pounds.) and add small amount of grease and keep tightening the packing little by little while running the engine in between until your leaking stops. If you over tighten you will burn the packing and shaft. If you over grease, you will move the shaft back through the packing, if the shaft has ridges in it, it will over size and tear the packing were it meet the shaft and which will cause you leaking. No more than a half a shot of grease should do it. This will allow you to seat packing and work out all the voids without burning or tearing the packing. John In Iowa
