" I have an old Johnson 15 hp

" I have an old Johnson 15 hp Sea-Horse Model#15R 78B (I assume this means it's from 1978?). It seemed to work fine at first then got into some weeds and the exhaust stopped working - I think - at leat now when I tried it for a few seconds on idle only a spit of water came out instead of a stream. The motor still sounds good and have been told the impeller may need to be replaced or the tube for the water may be clogged. Can anyone tell me where the impeller is and how to get at it. (From all I've read in the newsgroups it should be easy to replace) I have alredy taken the bottom part with the propeller on it off - is it in this
section and how do I get at it? To check for a blockage do I just blow in the part where the water comes out and see if the air comes out the little pipe at the bottom of this middle section? (Did this and it is clear.)

Any other suggestions as to what the problem may be would be appreciated.

Thanks a million,
Laura "
