My motor will start but will not idle and does not pee unless the water is being pumped by a hose. The sensor was replaced but it still alarmed and I think the guy who originally worked on it disconnected the wire to the sensor. I do have a manual on order but I was looking for suggestions first. I am replacing the water pump and ordered the carb kits to do a full carb cleaning. I want to do a complete cleanup and overhaul on the motor to get it back to great running order. This is my first time working on an outboard and dont know where to start but am mechanically inclined to not pay the very high labor costs lol. I also want to check the "water jacket" and clean it up after reading through a lot of info but have no idea where that is located or how to access it. Also any suggestions on what all I should check/do to really get this motor back to top. Thanks in advance.
