I assume I should I get some water coming out the exhaust leg when spraying into the outlet? I get no water coming out anywhere except a few drips out of the swivel joint between the lower unit leg and transom bracket. Not sure if dirt daubers are a thing in your area, but they are a real pest here. They completely filled the carb throat and there were more inside the prop blocking the water holes in it, and then even more just inside the exhaust opening. I’m guessing that unless there is a baffle or screen in the exhaust, they went straight up the leg and clogged where the water returns to the exhaust leg. I had hoped cranking it would cause the exhaust to blast out any more that were in the leg, but that doesn’t fix the water passages. Maybe I can pull off the leg and look up inside the tube on the bottom of part 40 in the diagram frankr posted? How do I pull the leg off? Is there any source for the #21 gasket (551804) if I have to split the case? A quick google search didn’t show anything.
