I’ll give all your suggestions a try tomorrow (just acquired a lot of motors and am processing for next season…believe it or not). With the fuel pump, there was no pump on the motor and the one I put on it closely resembles your standard 25/35 ones (not the small square one, but the more modern ‘house’ shaped one with a point at the top).
The gearcase was off the motor when I purchased it, I did not see any evidence of issues with the gearcase and did the standard new impeller install. The whole mud dubber thing was discovered by chance when I went to change the thermostat, only to find that they had infested the water jacket and T-stat cover, along with the final water outlet at the bottom of the cover. I am questioning whether there is a big nest under the powerhead, because as I mentioned before, there was a overheat situation the first time I ran it because water could not escape due to the clog under the powerhead. Then WHOOSH, a big clump came out of the two upper exhaust water holes, and then the motor ran at correct temperature. I also have had a persistent overboard water indicator clog that keeps coming back, so I suspect they may have made there way up the exhaust and water tube inlet, and infested those areas of the motor.
We’ll know by end of day tomorrow! (CHECK OUT my other post for one of the motors I processed earlier today…and are continuing to process).
