At the end of last season while winterizing I started it up on muffs and noticed nothing coming out of the telltale and immediately shut it down. After some minor troubleshooting I gave up and put it off till spring.
Now that it’s prep time, I fired it up again for a moment with the same result. Inspected the water pump and impeller and all appeared okay but replaced impeller anyway. I then put just the foot in water and turned the shaft with a drill and I cannot see anything bubbling up out of the pump.
I’m tempted to get a kit and replace all gaskets but they all appeared to be in good condition so I’m wondering if there are any other tests I can try first
