Now I’m waiting for one little washer on a slow boat from China so I can install the lower unit and get going again. The water keeps calling me but I’m stuck. Inspected the entire motor today. Fuel lines etc. Even pulled the thermostat and cleaned it up then checked at what temperature it opened and used a caliper to make sure it opened far enough for spec. LolFound more scaly looking stuff in the housing. Like a powder almost and I’m running in freshwater only. The lake I spend most of my time on is clear as can be. You can see several feet deep.I grabbed the water hose connected to the house to back flush since the lu was off. When I unscrewed the spray nozzle I noticed the nozzle was full of the stuff. It’s something  in our water out here! With all the work I’ve done to the motor I’ve been running it quite a bit either in a tub or on muffs here. I’m going to ask the water company about this junk. I’ll shut up now. Maybe clean my reels and organize my tackle.</blockquote>
