    I took the bowl off the carb and there is a little hose inside there it was broke. I don't know if it broke when I took off the bowl or was broke before.

    I need to know what year this motor is, I'm guessing it's a '56. It quit pumping water and when I took it apart the upper leg and water pump housing were all covered in sludge, I think the base gasket on the power head was leaking. The impeller was missing 3 out of 6 fins.

    Why are anglers in Bass Boats so Inconsiderate of other boater?

    I've got a few bones to pick with all the people who drive bass boats. <br />1) Why don't they ever slow down for other boater, and especially small vessals.<br /><br />2) Here at my local boat launch there is a nice sand bar from the lazy b*stards who like to power their boat up on the trailer...
