[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 359707, member: 13702"] lesson learned - with used outboards ALWAYS check the impeller before starting... I horror story with the condition of mine, only in my case the previous owner was apparently drooling on himself stupid because he put an extra paper gasket between the impeller housing and plate (which was shredded and stuffed up the feed tube) didn't have the ring washer/gaskets in the proper locations (actually he only had 1 of the 2), didn't have any of the screw bushings for the impeller housing and had one fin of the impeller bent in the opposite direction of the others - though it was the only one oriented correctly for the rotation of the motor... Somehow he managed to get the key lined up...and bolted it back together. Didn't manage to reconnect the tiller style shift linkage. I knew I was in for it when I didn't pay for the motor with the boat & trailer and the carburetor and other miscellaneous parts came in a child's sandcastle pale intermixed with parts to his chainsaw.
