    5 hp Mercury New Impeller wont pee at idle

    Took it apart multiple more times.. ugh. Still wont pee at idle. Cant figure it out. I'm done with it though. I just raised the idle until it stayed a steady stream. Fish opener is this next weekend here. Hopefully that will be good enough for now. Just a little faster troll.

    Funny thread title names..

    :LOL2: Sorry, in that mood today. Just looking through some of the threads here and could not stop cracking up. Imagine this is not a boat site and you are a passerby reading the titles. "Got it wet for the first time" "Repairing dents in my jon" "Carpet Gap" Again.. I apologize! :D
