I have a 1984 model 217.586750 7.5 HP Gamefisher outboard engine.
The engine started immediately, but then within seconds started to smoke
(shut it down right away). The water pump impeller is probably bad.
Is there a source for these impellers and a repair manual for this problem?
I bought this engine new from Sears, have used it only twice in the 1980s in fresh water only, and have very few hours total on the engine.
If there are parts and repair manuals available I would like to take a shot at repairing the engine; however, since I am not a master mechanic on outboard engines, I am wondering if there are any reputable repair shops in the area for this type of engine? I live in southeastern PA.
Any help in the above areas would be appreciated.
