[QUOTE="DiveLiberty, post: 434784, member: 22384"] Update on the motor. I did get it running but only let it go for a few seconds as I wasn't getting any water flow from the indicator. I suppose an impeller change is due next. I plan to clean out the water line that runs to the "tell-tale", which could be the issue. However, I figured an impeller change is due anyways considering I don't know the last time it was serviced. Something that is a bit weird and could use some advice on. When I give the priming bulb a good squeeze, a small amount of fuel squirts out the front of the carb, through the metal screen. Is there some kind of vent that could allow this to happen normally, or should I get into the carb and clean/seal it? (thinking it could be the needle, but would the motor run okay if the needle had an issue?) I'm fairly green to outboards, but enjoy tinkering with them. [/QUOTE]
