[QUOTE="cosborn, post: 469416, member: 25154"] The white steam started out on the lake when the engine had a lot more than a tiny bucket. The tiny bucket kinda sucks I know, my big barrel unfortunately cracked when I was messing with my other motor :( I kept watching the motor and once I saw the level get low and the pee stream start to taper off like that I would shut her down and top off the bucket before trying again. I can try to duct tape the hell out of the large bucket and try it again, maybe put something under the bucket to get it up in the air higher... or just take her and some tools out to the lake instead. So the steam is an indication of an impeller issue, there should be a lot more water coming through that port instead of the steam? Does the impeller also drive the pee stream that comes out near the bottom of the powerhead? Because that seems to be nice strong stream... enough so that it's shooting out past my tiny bucket.
