Yea it was but old and shot,not sure where the blockage would be all the passages seemed to be clear
Sure the thermostat is opening?
I've had to lower unit off in my barrel with a drill on the drive shaft spinning it and it doesn't pump very much water the thermostat appears to be working there's no blockage in the powerhead I can pour water in the thermostat housing and it runs out through the bottom
The water pump housing is OEM the impeller is a knockoff I got from Amazon I've considered maybe that might be the problem but I use the same impeller in my 25 horse and it works fine
O-ring at the top of the pump? I've never seen one that had an o-ring at the top of the pump I did replace the water tube Brahmin if that's what you're talking about all the water pump parts are brand new except the wear plate which looked fine
No it's not I had the whole lower unit submerged except for the water tube grommet sticking out of the water
Well I had the lower on the motor last week had it running and it was spraying out mist out of the discharge port so I took the lower back off tested it with my drill there was water coming out around the center of the pump housing with the drive shaft goes through and barely putting out any water so I bought a OEM pump housing put it on today test it with my drill and the water flow isn't much better as far as the depth of the lower in the water I would say it comes up to the top where the lower bolts to the upper exhaust housing
Okay I will try that in the next couple days hopefully that does the job
Well it was getting pretty warm before just spraying mist out of the discharge,before I changed the pump housing today I haven't had it back on the motor yet to test it I, tried it with my drill, I've seen guys on YouTube use the drill to spin the water pump and usually water sprays out of there quite a bit I guess I need to get the lower back on the motor and in my tank and test it and see what it does
