    Not peeing

    Muffs are not the best method. You will be better off with a trash can. Have you checked the pee hose it’s self? If not run a piece of wire or weed wacker line through it. They can get clogged. Be sure the water level is well above the pump.

    18 hp johnson

    What do you mean by you checked the pump and impeller? Did you remove the impeller? Did the fins straighten out somewhat or did they stay curled around? It can look new and fine but it should be soft and flexible to work properly. Just a thought.

    primer bulb not doing anything...

    Try pushing it several times and you may find it’s ok. If that doesn’t work the bulb that you push can dry out and have very fine cracks in it and may need replaced. Or there is a fuel delivery issue as mentioned check to see if fuel is reaching the primer.

    I had a friend told the same exact thing about his compression numbers just the other day. The shop was also have a big sale on last years models. What a coincidence!! I ran a compression test for him and all was well. You just never know who you can trust.

    Cmc trim bracket with a 40 hp tiller

    I have no personal experience with this but I have seen the screw clamps used on the cmc unit as they were intended along with bolts added to the lower holes in the transom bracket.

    I have heard that the 35hp rated unit will handle a 40hp 2 stroke but I would research that if interested. It’s a few $$$ less.

    How do you test a lower unit for leaks.

    I use a brake bleeder/ vacuum gauge and check with both pressure and vacuum. It is possible for a seal to leak in one direction and not the other. Im happy with 10 psi. And I agreed with Racer on the using a compressor. It only take a split second to blow the seal.

    You may find shims holding it in place and you may need very little or even no glue.

    Rings for 4006E

    Agreed Anything with a gauge on it from harbor freight is suspect in my eyes. I admit I have a few HB tools but wouldn’t trust anything that needs to be accurate to be accurate.
