Finally, got everything in the powerhead running ok and on the last test before taking it out found that the impeller was ripped up. Changed the impeller over and got a stream of water out, although weaker than the previous setup. I took it on the water and it pumped water ok but was blowing...
What is the best way to check if a spark plug lead is producing current? I only have spark at the top cylinder but it is strong and even enough to run the motor. I have a mini tacho that wraps around the plug leads and reads the RPM. This reads on both leads, so unless it is reading off the top...
Chrysler impeller / water pump (70's) missing top plate & driveshaft stacking order
I have three Chryslers in various states. 1972 45hp (running), 1978 45hp (not running) and 1975 20hp (running). They all have the same impeller setup but none have the top plate from the exploded drawings in the...
Re: Need help with 20HP Chrysler outboard
Could these two holes below the water intake have any relation to the water pumping path? I can't tell because they are under the muffs or in the tub, but water does run out of them when I lift out of the tub. Possibly just filling up in the tub.

I'm working on a 1975 20hp and I think the water is not pumping. Should water be coming out of this hole at the back of the leg? I have taken the impeller apart and it looks the same as my 45hp which pumps water fine. I'm sorry if this seems like a...
Bought this boat recently knowing it needed some work. The transom had bowed from true (3-4mm) enough to split the fibreglass cap and show movement at the back corners of the splashwell when lifting the bow from the trailer using the outboard. The lips of the hull and top cap had split on the...
Re: 1972 45hp chrysler control cable help
Further info if needed. I think the box is morse? single level with neutral button. I have not had the boat on the water, but the prop spins when I put it in gear. It looks like it works, but I am being told that it is wrong and the second guy said it...
Hi all. New to the forum, new to boats. I recently bought my first boat which is a late 60's pride/(caribbean) spitfire with a 72 chrysler 45hp. I took the boat to a local shop and then a another guy who works on older boats and both said that the control cables are attached incorrectly. Looking...
