    At higher speeds the water is under more exhaust pressure and it will be carried down and out through the leg.TMD

    RickAt idle and low speeds there is no vacuum created at the gear box so your exhaust and water rise up the chamber until they reach the idle exhaust holes, once you are under way and reaching top speeds a vacuum is created on the back side of the gear box to draw out the exhaust/water but i would still expect to see some water/exhaust coming out of the your idle relief holes make sure your over heat system is working and ground it to test the buzzer up front you dont want to burn up the motor. bret If you need further assistance please email me @ forcepower01@yahoo.com.
