Water testing

[PKemp]

Hmmm. More odd questions. <br />I have a 1989 Johnson 25hp manual start, etc.<br />I need to water test it. What kind of water tank do I need?? Would a 50 Gal drum be okay?? Would that be enough water to keep the engine cool?? Can't put it in the big water right now cause the trailer is broke.

Yes that will suffice. I use a regular garbage can and I keep the water running constantly, it makes for a wet mess though. You can always use flusher muffs though.

Keep the rpms on the low side and keep it in neutral. If in gear and with a few rpms it will blow all the water out in a heartbeat.

Got it. Thank you. I didn't know if a 55 gal drum would be enough but I'll try that.
