Howdy!
I purchased a 1989 Gamefisher 9.9hp model number 225-581991 serial number 4324. This motor sat for several years prior to my purchase. I have replaced the impeller due to the original one dry rotting away. I cleaned the impeller housing, and metal plate/shim. I removed the entire engine out of the case/covers, blew out all the passages where water would run through for cooling, there were no clogs at all. Blew out the suction port on the lower unit, no clogs there either. Reassembled everything and it still doesn't pump water as it should. During idle, none comes out. If you rev it up, it will spit out a little bit, and I mean only a little bit out of the 2 holes under where the engine cover latch is. Any ideas, advice, wisdom is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
