I’ll definitely think about that.  I was actually able to get it to run well with the prop off in the test tank by starting it at full throtle.  I don’t know what is occurring inside there that causes a need for weird starting, but it is running well and pumping water, so it is A OK in my book for the time being.  Time will tell weather or not it runs well tomorrow on a lake.
