Just installed the impeller, went on much easier than I expected it too....water is flowing well.

Rebuilt the carb on it and it fires up, but won't stay running in lower rpms.

It will shift into forward easily. Reverse is a little harder but it does go. Pretty sure I need wires for it, the top wire is taped up with electrical tape and the bottom shocked the crap out of me so I am guessing that's what's causing the miss fire and lack of idle in the "Start" range.
