The two that I have tested (Tom's and mine) would spin with just 12v applied at room (basement shop) temperature.

Here is the one I purchased.

I recommend you don't buy from him. He refuses to work with me, says he has 20 more of these and they all work.
File a claim with Ebay, He quotes "good working pump" in his listing, they will make him issue you a refund.

I "WAS" gonna buy a '14 or '15 Ultra Limited. Now I want out. This Air-Water cooling is on 3 model years and now switching to the '17 different motor. I am now thinking on getting a pre '14. I have a guy that wants to sell me a '15 with 8800 miles and 4 yrs. on a Transferable Warranty for $16k. Now I'm having serious doubts. To make an engine design then change it in a couple of years spells trouble down the line. Maybe that '12 CVO will do .

Car companies do this all the time, BUT they update the part number 1 digit or alpha to differentiate between the "old " problematic pump and the superseded revised pump.....
Harley is probably waiting for the revised pump to get here from China 😜

I suspect these are used pumps changed under warranty for noise and some HD Tech is selling the stuff out of the garbage can at work

I would jump on that '15 Limited for 16k in a heartbeat. With a 4 yr warranty? HD has to honor that.

I am not to sure where to go with this newer bike that I wanna buy. Is it true that the Air-Water Mt. Rushmores are only a 3 yr. stint and the line done, replaced by the M-8 ? I sure as hell don't wanna get stuck with a engine 5yrs. down the road that isn't worth a fiddler's f**k !

It's still a twin cam, which has been around since 1998. The Project Rushmore bikes were improvements made to the touring models based on real-world rider feedback. All this doom-and-gloom you're reading about the water-cooled Rushmore bikes is nothing but the squeaky wheel getting the grease complaints you read on Internet forums. A vast majority of these bikes are as dependable and reliable as any other Harley motorcycle.

Hell Yea, that bike is still practically new, these forums makes you think almost everyone is having trouble with their water pump. Well, they're not!

We are in the Black Hills riding our '15 Limited this week.
There are a few thousand of these "Twin Cooled" bikes running around up here this week, and will be many more thousands next week.
I haven't seen any of them broke down on the road yet.

<knock on wood> Just over 25,000 miles on my '15 Limited and no cooing issues. Of course it could go out tomorrow. But I am betting it won't.
