Well again, in referencing the manual I have, it talks about the water inlet on the front of the lower unit with a screen on it.
Is that screen plugged up so no water is getting in? Unless you have muffs that are specific to that, I'm guessing you ran it in a barrel? Was the water level high enough so water could get into the inlet?
If in fact it's not getting water to the impellor, my guess would be you might have to replace it again.. Probably wrecked it if it wasn't getting water.. Yes, even a brand new one will fail QUICKLY with no water...
I don't know too much about the 40 hp cooling, if it has a thermostat or not etc...
so I'll leave that part to others from here.. lol...
I was using muffs but tried yesterday with a drum and still only white smoke and little dribble of oil. I made sure it was the 5 little inlet holes, I'll try to remove screen after work. I don't think it has a thermostat, couldn't find one listed on parts diagram. The impeller I took out looked almost new. Does it matter which way the impeller fins are bent? I put the new one in the same way the old came out but Idk if the old one was in there right.
