Brand new to the forum, but i've read tons of great stuff here!!
So I picked up a 9.9 that appears hasn't been run a few years...maybe 4 or 5. Great compression in each 115 each. replaced power pack and got it purring, but cooling is no good. have to prime it up from the water intake vents to get the pee hole to shoot water after replacing water tube grommet. I put it together correclty without damaging that grommet! Got the peel hole shooting steady water, but It still heated up hot after running for awhile...quite hot to the touch. Look over some of my findings and let me know what you think.
-haven't checked the thermostat and don't know how, but seems it wasn't opening up
-pulled lower unit and found milky water around the impeller and front cavity (where the shifter shaft runs down)...none in the exhaust tube though
-Found that shifter shaft cavity in the lower unit had the drain hole completely plugged...cleaned it and haven't run it since finding that. no idea if that has any impact to my issues
-pulled impeller... vanes were pretty soft and fully formed to the curve, but not broken. maybe not pulling hard enough for water.
-tested water tube by hooking up a hose line to it. Water blasted out the peehole no blockage there, but seems as pressure built up the extra or overflow water ran down the outside of water tube I was pumping it up through...don't know if it's supposed to do that.
Thanks a ton for any help!
