As some of have read, I had bad last Saturday. My little Force 4hp overheated and shut down. After some searching I found the tube going up from the water pump was dumping water back down the arm. The rubber grommet that held the tube into the case had rotted out letting the tube slip out. With no telltale I had no idea what was happening. I fixed the problem by brazing a small nut onto the tube and casting a new grommet out of black rtv. Next I want to make a telltale by drilling a hole through the case and run a tube out of the cover. Will this cause problems inside the arm? Not having the water to cool the exhaust could burn something, right?
