Is there a flush/test connection for a hose that I can't see?The only water inlet I see is on leading edge of lower exhaust - doesn't look amenable to muffs etc

Take a large garbage can and fill it at least half full. Hang the motor on it (making sure the water is above the cavitation plate) and you can run the motor at idle speed. Water muffs won't work on your motor.

Thanks Master Chief - thought maybe - off to the Depot for a metal trash can!

The company that made flushettes for motors like yours called it quits a few years ago (Tempo Products).
