i have a 175 thta i just put new lower on ran it at the river and pee stream was not as stong as it was ,im running new pump that was on other lower
its a sierra ive used both oem and sierra i use and oring under impellar
this time, and didint use it on old lower does it get one under impellar i know it gets one under cup between houseing and cup put new plate gasket and reused oring on houseing dont have the stream that i had think the oring under impellar and possible bad seal at houseing would do it it has stream and is not running hot by buzzer anyway but havent checkd head temps with gun pushes better water on hose . but thats because it is being pressurized.
should i drop lower redo pump check the flow from intake screen up and pull thermos and flush or what thermos and poppets are fresh.
thinkin about going completly back thru from pump to thermos .pulling heads checking deflectors and all what do ya think i should do ,thanks
