I did a search and just about fell asleep reading so many.
Simple question. I have the leg off my 87 15 hp for an impeller change. The tell tale quit. The impeller was in tact so no pieces in the water tube but the water tube seems to be blocked with something. Can I take the tell tale hose and remove the fitting and push water back through the block and down the water tube. This may remove whatever is in there. Thoughts??

Re: Back flushing

Thanks Steve. What kind of pressure could I use? Let her rip or tone it down a little?
