Thank you! I think my problem with the gasket is probably a rare occurrence.
Did you remove the drain screw at the base of the head while the engine is running to observe the flow? The flow on mine is not strong, more like a garden hose with the water turned on very low and no sprayer attached to the nozzle. But if you are seeing water come out of the exhaust ports on the midsection, then I think you are getting enough water through the powerhead. Maybe on your next attempt you should try altering the carburetor passage as outlined in the diagram earlier in this post. I wish you luck with it.

Yup of course my carb gasket was good not like yours. I have already altered the carb body with no real tangible results from it. I have water coming out of the drain screw on the head but low and slow like you described. if i put my hand by the exhaust ports there is a mist of water and my hand becomes wet. Generally within a minute it seems to overheat and die. Last time i tore it apart and reassembled it ran for maybe 5mins before it died and wouldn’t start until cooled off. Probably at this point going to stop putting money into it and buy another one since they are not exactly rare and just use this guy for parts.
