Hi Garry,
That’s a very good point and i will certainly be sure to check all the possible locations for blockages. In the case of this motor, however, it has never been restored or repainted. The paint is getting pretty thin on the midsection and is about 95% gone below the A/V plate on the L/U. Could be some crud in there that i missed when changing the impeller and gearcase oil though. Im checking everything while I have it apart waiting for my gaskets to arrive.

I’m really starting to think I had a weed blockage on the water intake screen during my lake run, though. So far everything is open and clean. When i get the old girl back together I’m going to do some run time in my backyard pond before I go back to the lake and keep a close eye on the engine temp. 😎 I dont get a chance to get to the lake to run nearly as often as I would like.
