I have a 76 rude 55 HP model 55673. How can I tell if the impeller is working properly without tearing it all apart? I have the service manual so if I have to I can replace it easily. Thanks. Chris

Re: Impeller problems

If this is a new to you motor or if the impeller hasn't been replaced in the last two years ,change it out. It is money well spent.<br />While the motor is running you should be able to put you fingers on top of the block right above the plugs on top without it burning you. You should be able to hold them there for a few seconds without any trouble.
