okay, The bucket when I was running the motor was overflowing, I had a hose in it, I’m fairly certain I fixed the idle problem with that plate that I moved. I used a aftermarket carb kit, but the only things I used were the bowl gasket, and that little cap, the cap was tapped into place with a screwdriver and I can assure you that it is a tight fit- air tight seal, although it may look like its loose. The carb is definetly 100% clean I soaked the whole thing in chem dip for about a day, then cleaned out each individual passage in the carb with the spray stuff. The thing I am dealing with here now is the water, The bucket was Full and the whole lower unit was Fully submerged, The picture I sent was taken hours after running.   it was definitely pumping water because there was loads coming out of the exaust, and when I took that plate off with the thermostat, I started it up and water shot all over. I put the cover back on withought the thermostat and no juice either, the head would still get hot. It wasn’t warm, It was Hot, the plugs were hot and so was the head- water sizzled on them. this is when it is still pumping water, and the exaust plate is cool. Is there a blockage somewhere?

Thanks, Mason
