Hi. I have 2 1980 evinrude /johnson 7.5hp. I have just had to cannabilse parts of each to make one unit. Lower power head evinrude with new impeller. Re oiled gearbox. power unit at top had broken thermostat housing and head which i replaced from the evinrude. Had trouble getting it ticked over but followed some good advice on posts and retightened head. It turned over/started this afternoon and sounds good.
Problem is no water. Impeller is new. i cleaned out the pipe up to the top as best i could.
Its like theirs air coming through to the water outlett but only like a very very fine mist of water vapour. Have i missed something in reassembling the bits. Murray in Bendigo
