Re: 5hp Chrysler outboard water pump

Suggestions are:<br /><br />1. Get a manual for your engine.<br />2. Under Search at the to of the page enter chrysler water pump (or something like it). Read until you get sleepy.<br />3. Plan on replacing the water pump and rebuilding the carb.<br />4. Do not run it again until you have purged every drop of old fuel in the system and have fresh pre-mix.<br /><br />Good luck,<br /><br />Howard

Waterbug, the manual you need is Clymers #750.<br /><br />Ditto on purging the old fuel and above all don't run it until you [at least], inspect the water pump.<br /><br />I have a 5hp-6.6 hp and a 9.9hp Chryslers and with a little TLC they all run pretty good. Good luck with yours. Happy Boating. Hal

Your not going to have a stream of water out the back, Just a slight spitting of water out the exhaust ports.<br />NO4NJNK
