[QUOTE="trackerpro91, post: 499476, member: 33413"] Some additional facts: I actually bought it from a friend's husband, who bought it from the widow last year. He ran it about 20 hours last year, said he had no problems (which totally tracks with it showing problems, now). He replaced the plugs and had the carburetor cleaned. He just sold the bait business he had here forever, and he is no stranger to boats. I only put 100% gas in it, no ethanol blends. Also, I ran it in the water Sunday, and confirmed it was peeing, and it wasn't a dribble- it was a strong stream. So, so far I am definitely replacing the impeller and looking for some OMC gasket sealer (and hopefully its in all one piece so I don't have any pieces in the cooling system). Also looking for a factory manual and plan on tracing the cooling system for all its pieces. Any lead on a factory manual for the motor would be greatly appreciated. Anymore info is always appreciated! [/QUOTE]
