The water pump repair kit, for my 1999 35Hp 3-cyl Johnson, arrived in the post today. But before ripping into, I'd like to pose a question here.
When the outboard lower leg is submerged in a drum of water, the water pump works wonderfully. A nice strong water jet shoots from the outlet like a champ. All good.
But when I try the muffs with garden hose trick, there is no water jet at all. Water supply pressure and volume is good. I have never seen this before and it has me stumped.
Am I right to assume the pump repair kit must be installed?
