Just replace the impeller, and still no water coming out of the leg.
Motor is getting hot to touch, so I've shut it down each time.
When the lower unit was off, (second time) I shot water up each copper water tube (this motor has 2 - not sure why) and water came out the other side. The lower units water intakes are not blocked. This motor, being a Lark, has a rear leg cover that comes off. Behind that is a rubber tube at the top of the leg. I took that off to see if any water is trickling down when running, and there is not.
Any ideas as to what's going on? Does this motor have a thermostat? That could be blocked or stuck?
My other 1950's motors never had this issue.
