Had an overheat this week. Shut down and came in on the trolling motor (no damage to the engine). When I got home I pulled the thermostat. WOW full of junk (shale? sand? salt?). Got that out. but the water will not flow from the bottom up.
I replaced the entire pump assy. No change. Water runs GREAT if I connect to the hose connection on the upper unit, or stuff the end of the water hose into the thermostat opening. The water runs out of the tube where the impeller connects good (with the foot off). Checked for anything clogging the feed in the foot. Everything is wide open.
When I run the motor with muffs or in a tank I can feel air coming from the tell tale? I ran weed whacker string 3 1/2 feet up through the tube the pump connects to.
I can't figure out where the channels run looking at my breakdown book. I'm just trying to find a spot I can run that line in another way.
Suggestions/Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
