you could have a piece of impeller in the system somewhere. Many times a piece of rubber will break off and go up the pipe and into the power head and may be too big to get out the pee hole and just sticks in there blocking water. Try some weedeater line back through the tube and see if it comes out stronger. If not, I would pull the lower unit and back flush it and make sure the water tube is clear. If the impeller was replaced It shouldn't need a new one, but........you do have the lower unit off...........Jerry

Jack, many places that service engines run them on a hose, if thats the case the water pressure from the hose covers up the pump problems, it sounds like time for a impeller
