I have a 1967 Sea King 9.2 HP. VWB 27909 It won’t pump water. I’ve checked the water pump and impeller and they both work. I’ve also cleaned all the water lines from the bottom of the engine to the gear case. Please help me figure out what’s wrong
Post #1 says water pump and impeller "both work". At the same time you said it "won't pump water". Confusing, to say the least. How do you know the pump works if it won't pump?
Let's start at the beginning. Where are you running this thing? On a boat on the lake? On muffs? In a bucket?
I’ve have ran it in Galveston bay and in an bucket. I know the water pump works because I took the lower unit off and put it in a bucket and put a drill on the drive shaft and turned it and it pumped water. I know none of the lines are clogged up because I shot compressed air up through it and it went through. The only other explanation I can think of is that there a hole in the tube going from the water pump to the engine. Thanks for your responses!
