This is the same thing that occurred in the other power head to cause it crack, I think, because the same happened with the old one.I could be wrong. If that is so, where would I find a new one.
Now, I'm thinking because the telltale operated normally at low speed the water system isn't blocked and the impeller if good, but if that is true could it be the theromostat? The engine is really hot and I have to let it rest for a bit before I can continue. When I go faster the telltale disappears(lessens) and I guess the water is supposed to go out the back exhaust(?- is that true), because the telltale disappears and after I continue the engine over heats and only steam comes out the telltale. The tell-tale works fine at low speed and the water is streaming. I need your advice and expertise on this situation- it would be appreciated. It ran nice in the bucket but when I took it out on the lake it over heated and conked out a couple of times. But it also had water coming through the spark plugs which was caused by the the crack also, I'm guessing.Īnyways, I found a powerhead and me and a friend put the motor together a couple of days ago. I purchased a Sears Ted Williams 9.9 HP in the early summer and didn't check it out properly (noob-excuse) at the time and eventually found a crack in the powerhead but it worked great except some fuel coming through at high speeds so I figured I would replace the powerhead instead of going up in flames on the water. I understand that repairs can be a bit of detective work and a bit of common sense but I'm hoping experience will make things come together a bit quicker so I'm here to pick your brains.
My proudest moment so far was finding a beat up and obviously kicked 5HP Eska on a beach near Algonquin Park,ON which some one with a temper had left for dead and I actually brought it back to life and it purrs - probably out of appreciation! Its my favourite motor now, good for trolling and light enough to put on a canoe. I started out with 20 buck 1947 3.6 Firestone-Scott Atwater thats running nice and I have 2 more old timers found over the summer that are great. I'm not a mechanic and I have trouble fixing a flat bike tire, I'm still learning the ins and outs- but I'm learning. I came to these forums a few months ago and I have to say thanks for all the help.
