#1- When at idle it pees pretty well and the water temp is luke warm. As I up the rpms the water appears less and seems to get pretty warm (almost hot). Water is also coming out at the hole under the engine cover on the right hand side facing the engine on high rpms. If I have to replace the impeller can you give some instruction please???

#2- If I set the gas tank above the engine on a ladder it keeps running, but if I set it on the ground it will quite in a couple of minutes even with the vent cap all the way removed. Could this be time for new lines???

Thanks for all and any help you can give... Tim
