ProV150H carb issue

[steveTN]

I removed all three of my carbs today, cleaned, and then reinstalled because my engine didn't want to idle. I finished the carb job, put the water muffs on the engine and cranked it to see if my idling issues were gone but now I have no water stream coming out from the engine. How would carbs have anything to do with the water pump?

I made a bit of a mess with gas and oil, could it have leaked down to the water pump somehow?

yes if it made its way down the driveshaft.

I'll try and blow out the pee hole tomorrow. I freaked out when I didn't see any water coming out and shut the motor down. The water pump has been working nicely until now when I did the carbs so its either coincidence or I did something to mess it up.
