I got the Scott started finally, using a gravity feed tank, and it still
was a lot of monkeying around, giving it shots of fogging oil, until
finally it took off.
It seems to run okay, but not sure I’ll be able to get it started with
the normal gas tank and hose hooked up to it, and I’m afraid
to think what would happen with the gas tank in the bottom of
the boat.
I had to “over fill” the barrel with water as to what should have been
enough, to even get it to pump water at all. What is pumping does
not seem adequate, and the bilge pump impeller isn’t doing anything.
Both had brand new, spendy impellers.
The motor really winds up, and seems like it has plenty of power, but
I couldn’t wind it up more than a couple of seconds as the water
flees the test tank.
Prepare to be boarded!
