Hey guys,
My boat sat in my garage for a year while I worked on it and I just fired it up this week for the very first time. Believe it or not, the 2-stroke started up on the first pull (pheeew!). After running it on idle for 10 minutes I rev'ed it a few times and finally got the smoke to clear out. However, I noticed the impeller just isn't spitting out very much water. Also, the water that is coming out is very hot. Is that normal? I looked around on Youtube and other Force motors really spray out some water when they are in gear. I didn't want to put mine in gear to find out, though, since I'm testing it in a garbage can.
Can you tell from this video if there is anything to be concerned about? I'm not sure if it will help, but I was planning on running some Seafoam through it with a few gallons of gas before taking it out on the lake this week.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
ps. Here's a Youtube video of a 1985 Force 9.9hp motor running for comparison:
