"I bought a like new outboard
"I bought a like new outboard on ebay and the water trickles out of the head when running. I opened the water pump up, found a new impeller but shreds of an old one clogging the ports. Cleaned it out and the flow is the same. I think the thermostat is stuck or rubber has clogged the exit tube. I do not know the exact year of the motor. it's a 6SD #6H6 S 019205. I ordered a thermostat but clueless how to clear the clog if there is one. Any advice is welcome, ideas or experience is appreciated. The seller won't answer my emails. I just want to get it running right."
