Re: 1968 3 hp evinrude a little hot

[billy-t]

i had replaced the head gasket, and retorked it when i got home needed to be snugged up, that would not have caused the hot issue in any way? i have checked the exhaust port and cleaned it, checked the impeller and it is fine. checked for blockages in the screen and didnt see any obstructions. I sprayed fogging oil up the water tube and didnt see any signs of holes in tube from rubbing on the shaft. So I guess the next thing would be to pull the power head and see if I can shoot compressed air down the water tube.

Thanks
