Hey guys, firstly what a great site.
I am looking at buying a used 1998, 9.9 Honda 4 Stroke Manual Start from a freind. It hasn't been run for a couple of years, but on second pull fired up and ran well.
Once the smoke had cleared, i noticed the water tell tale wasn't peeing out any water. The outboard was sitting in a large bucket of water i might add.
All i could see was small puffs of steam comming out the tube, so i shut it down straight away. Is this the sign of a failed water pump ?? I can blow into the tube and there is no obstruction. The engine is in quite good condition otherwise. Are these a good unit and do they has any bad vices that develop??
Any help would be appreciated.
