hey guys,
well i dug the old 6hp 6604 (1976) evinrude out of retirement. I had to get a new shift linkage, replaced powerhead base gasket, and new plugs and gear oil, and new impeller.
The old girl started and runs like a dream, but its pumping no water through the motor.
I have pulled the leg off, blown air up and down the tubes- no blockages, the keyway is in, i have tried sealing the waterpump housing with a gasket compound, but still no water.
any suggestions would be much appreciated. i have been hanging to get the boat out onto the dam, but this is the only thing holding me up.
Paul.
