No this is not a prostrate question. About two years ago I bought a
Honda 10 hp
engine from the early '80's. Started up on the second pull when I bought it. Used twice on my 22' daysailer then found that I could just use my
electric trolling
motor on the lake b/c the only time I used it was when there was no
wind.
Engine sat for two years. Pulled it out and it started on the second pull. But there was no
water coming from the pee hole. Turned it off. Waited awhile started it again still no
water. Took it apart. Blew out the water lines pulled some plant matter out of the pee hole and water dribbled out and finally started coming out with a wide stream. I am used to seeing a steady compact stream coming out of an
outboard. The water that comes out now is coming out in a wide stream and occasionally stops (for less than a second) and then comes out again. The stream is stronger when there are more RPM's. Should I continue trying to blow the chamber out with compressed air or is it ok?
