[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 188886, member: 1776"] The water pressure from the muffs themselves should push some water out the hole - at least it does on my 50hp. Two things to try, reposition the muffs over the entrance holes (and turn on water full blast) - or get a garbage can and put the motor in this. I usually use this method to test it, there's less mess while you're working on the motor or boat. Just one big mess when you are done. Maybe the waterpump isn't working? As to carbs, sometimes it just needs a rebuild kit done to insure the fix lasts. If you can wait for it to arrive and then another night to rebuild them, that is what I'd do. [/QUOTE]
