[QUOTE="pcdimis, post: 453158, member: 22573"] ran the motor again in a 55 gallon drum and still no water, i pulled everything apart and blowed thru the lines and pulled the power head and blowed thru the water jackets and no blockages found. i put it back together ran it again and now im pumpimg water! the only thing im a little worried about is that i could not find the gasket for the lower unit rear cover plate so i used RTV however when i tighten it down the prop gears lock up. I am assuming that the thickness of the gasket was factored in for the back lash setting so i pulled it apart applied more RTV and let it sit for awhile the re-installed it however i cant tighten the bolts as much as i would like or it lock on me again. gonna keep searching for the gasket. if it doesnt rain tommorow i plan on trying the motor out to fine tune the carb settings. Thanks to everyone for helping me get this thing up snd running. [/QUOTE]
