quote FrankR:

You ask if I have seen that before. Are you kidding? This is salt water down here. Seen it or similar lots of times. Got stuck with a few trade-ins that have been “fixed” in creative ways too.

Yeah, this motor came as a "gift." Looks great cosmetically. Has good spark. Looked like I could gas it up and go. As I waded in, I found the full lines stiff and cracked, and the fuel pump corroded. Seemed a reasonable fix until I tried to get at the impeller(s).

I’m glad it was a poor welding job. Made it easier to get apart. Kind of hard to change the impeller if you can’t disassemble.
