Hi guys,
My friend called today trying to clear out his motor that he never flushed at the end of the season.
(Salt area)
I told him to run it until the salt away is throughout and then shut it down and walk away for a week.
He asked me how often I should replace the impeller and I told him once every 5 years unless you know you've done something wrong.
He's had a mechanic doing it every 2 years or year or something.
He called me back later saying no water was coming out the telltale and I told him huh, that's kind of weird. As he explained more I found out how he was flushing and I said go get some muffs you want to do it from the gear case. To make a long story short or a short story long he sent me these pictures. I told him that was not the proper way he's not my opinion. This is what I sent him and then his corresponding thing afterwards.
I'm going to send him this link so, read what I sent him, read what he sent me back, look at the pictures, then give me your opinion.
Maybe these big four stroke Suzuki's don't need what I thought it was.
You didn't run it like that did you? Put it on muffs if you don't have any come get one from me. You want a freshwater rinse from the water pump it's on the gear case you need a set of muffs and don't be confused with muff diving that's a whole another sport!!!
I figured it out. Water connection wasn't mustard! All good now! Heading home. Thanks for your help.
