No place to hook up garden hose for trailer starting I just bought this project it has not run since 2003 i was told. So far I have drained the stale gas from the tank and have put fresh gas into the motor from another source and it has been in the carbs for a couple of days to possibly help dissolve whatever sediment may have collected in the carb bowls.. as a first try to avoid removing the carbs. any advice on if a flushing technique like this would work?
secondly It is a jet drive and I need to drill it to accomidate a garden hose fitting. so I am going to attempt to start this motor without water for a few seconds worst thing it could do is overheat the powerhead however I am going to shut it down before that would happen. the inpeller has to be replaced anyway. from age and to drill it I need to remove the jet drive. as for the impeller it is going to be sacrificial in this case so could there be any precautions to take considering what i am going to do? Please advise..Scott
