Hey everybody im writing a new thread i had a problem getting the motor started due to stator issue. Got that taken care of through this site. Anyhow this motor sat for about 6 months without starting i dont know if water impeller was previously changed. i do plan on changing water impeller regardless but doing a check on it as i dont know how good it is. So i started engine finally and my first concern was to make sure water would come through . Using water muffs that you plug into the water hose from one side. Water running out the bottom and through prop but it didnt rise after 15 seconds i shut it off to figure out what you guys advice. The muffs are from walmart...could that be the issue or is pump no good. If i need to change is that something I can do with some help? HEy thanks guys once again.........I GOT THE MOTOR STArted IM so excited. :) Like a kids in a candy store.

Run a piece of weed wacker line up the pee tube. Some dirt daubers may have got in there and clogged it up.

Ok where about would I find the openinG to run it up if I'm facing the engine? As I read the advice I picture running it down....thanks for your help
