Got a nice find on craigslist. A 63 evinrude 18hp which is very clean. Guy says he replaced the impeller and still doesnt pump right. I see no evidence of it overheating. It has spark and compression is 100 on both. If he put the impeller in right am i right to assume most likely a plugged impeller tube or the passages in the powerhead. I only paid 50 bucks for it. I just got done rebuilding a 57 johnson 18hp and litteraly have taken apart from start to finesh so i know these pretty well. What else could keep it from not pumping right other than a restriction somewhere. The guy is an engineer so i would think he could get the impeller back in right. What do you guys think. I either got a steal or another parts motor which would be fine. Also another motor stand, good gas tank and spare prop.
