    Well I finally got this in the test tank last night and great news, she started 2nd pull.  I had to kill it right away as there was only mist out the blubber hole☹️.

    I tested pump rebuild on lower unit prior to installing and blew upper leg cooling out with air prior to installing.  I did get some air through.  Any thoughts?  Should I just keep blowing air through or are there any other tricks?
