Evinrude 25rcos not pumping water

[Keith Haw]

Hello again.. Well I was decarbing my motor when it stopped pumping water. I shut it off and let it cool. Then tried starting it again, it started but still no water. So, I figure it's the water pump impeller but is there something else I should look at?
On a side note, I was getting alot of oil coming out of the motor into the water barrel, is that normal when decarbing?
Thanks
Keith

yes ,its normal for the decarbing to put residue into the tnk,what likely happend is the impeller broke ,or wore down nd the oily water could have assisted this,chnge the impeller as a start,then use muffs to test run

Thanks for the answer.. Had a feeling that the oily water might have been part of the problem.. Guess I'll have to get some muffs.
