Never a problem with this engine previously. When starting and running for approximately 5 minutes using water hose and "ear muff", water ejecting from ports became excessively hot. I shut down immediately. I suspect subject pump and/or impeller problem. I do not have a repair manual. Basic instruction to check pump, remove and/or replace impeller would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
