Hardly pumps any water...It spurts enough for idling/ trolling in my small boat, but stops spitting completely when you bring the throttle open. I can't get to the impeller due to broken off bolts 3 of the 4 are snapped off. But I do know the impeller spins!
So my second thought was to tackle the thermostat and see how that is. I popped the cover off and it was pretty much solidified in there with all kinds of gunk and powdery shiznit. Cleaned it up and it does in fact function when put in hot water.
However when I had the cover for the thermostat off there are 4 holes, 1 which is the intake, 1 which is the exit, and 2 which cycle or exit the water. Anyways I shot compressed air through the intake that comes from the impeller and it has a nice strong blast of air. I then shot compressed air through the pisser hole and I could barley feel a breeze through the other holes. It was mostly shooting back out the pisser. This leads me to believe a blockage is within the motor...Is it worth tearing down for this?
I was somewhat hesitant before since I thought it was solely the impeller but now that I know the pisser can barley pass air, how is it supposed to pass water?!?!?!
