Re: Honda B100L 10hp cooling-water?
Hi Plug,<br /><br />thanks for your answer- what you said is exactly what I thought should happen, but it didnt.... Ive just taken the lower-unit off the motor and checked the impeller and the water-intake- everything looks fine except the small rubber seal which is seated between the waterpump- outlet and the copper tubing that leads the water up to the motor... but its not damaged so much that it could be the reason of no water comming out of the tell-tale? I have connected a small hose to the lower end of that copper-tube and filled water into it by holding the tube upwards- the water flows through the engine and comes out somewhere in the inside of the shaft (maybe the exhaust?), so at least the cooling-system isnt blocked. Its impossible to blow any air into that tell-tale by mouth, maybe theres something stuffed? To me it looks like the water is entering the motor through that fine grid which is mounted in the lower-unit, then pumped from the impeller through the cooling system, then just let out into the hollow shaft via the exhaust and from the hollow shaft it is either sucked out to the outside ( at the other side of the inlet?) by vacuum generated from the propellor thrust or just gravity when the motor idles in neutral? I know that these are a lot of guesses and maybe stupid questions but I wont get a manual over here in Germany in the next couple of days and the weather is fine so Id like to go out boating rather than sitting in my shop trying to figure out everthing by myself by re-inventing that motor..... so any more comments are highly appraised!!!!<br />Many greetings,<br />Rotty
