just purchased a second hand mercury 2.5hp for my tender looks like new but approx 4 years old.<br />Tell-tale is there but fairly weak particularly at tickover. Is this usual or a sign of worn water pump impeller / blockage (I assume it has a water pump).<br />If impeller is suspected guidance...
I run a 1998 Force 120 on a Bayliner Capri. Normal running no problem but left at idle the overheat alarm sounds after a few minutes.<br />Attempted to flush using usual clamps but no real water jet from the tell tale and again engine began to overheat.<br />Suspect water pump/ impeller...
