[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 223068, member: 3278"] Your engine is pumping water. For one thing, place the engine alot deeper into the bucket while running, that will help alot. No, the thermostat has zero to do with waterpump operation. It also has nothing to do with the overboard indicator line. As far as the engine not running well at idle start with the low speed adjustment at 1.5 turns from a lightly closed position. From there you should turn it in using 1/8 turn at a time until the engine smoothes out then runs lean and sags or bogs then back it back out to the smooth running position and out another 1/8 turn. This should be done with the engine in the water on a boat but in your case just put alot more water in that bucket of yours and get the engine deeper. If the engine does not respond to the adjustments then you did not do your job correctly on the carb. Let us know. As far as your water pump is concerned, at least replace the impeller, chances are yours is old and is not able to pump the volume and pressure it is designed to do. Replace the entire pump assy, if you can feel grooves in the cup or bottom plate. Alot of pressure and volume is lost to deep grooving. [/QUOTE]
