[QUOTE="oomph, post: 358348, member: 13768"] Took a gamble and snagged an old 1971- 6HP Evinrude at a moving sale at a real bargain. Guy claimed it sat in his garage for about a decade and hadn't been run, but was maintained pretty good by his father in law when it was in use. A visual inspection checked out, overall it didn't look too bad. I wasn't able to run it at the moving sale, but I figured worse case I could part it out and recover my money. Took it home, changed the plugs and it started on the 3rd pull. I let it run idle hooked up to a hose and flush kit. It ran perfect for 5 minutes and then it began stalling out. And saw a little smoke coming from the lower end. I'm thinking it may need a new water pump from sitting around all those years. Anyone else encounter this before? Any hints on what I should check next? I am kinda new to working on these motors. ? Could use a few pointers on what to look for and or replace. thx [/QUOTE]
