2006 Honda BF50 hp

[eric80]

Hi, my 2006 Honda BF50 hp is spitting out water from the tell tale but my motor is overheating.

We've removed thermostat and water jacket cover and pushed weed eater wire (plastic) into all the ports thinking we may have calcium build up but get no residue and the wire goes well into the motor.

we've removed the leg and blew water up the intake and get water out of the lower jacket port and tell tale.

How else can we diagnose where our blockage it?
fresh water use though we do get calcium build up, hence cooling issues in the past.

Any ideas?

You don't mention the impeller. Did you look at the impeller? It may be not supplying enough water to the powerhead to keep it cool..
