"Hi,

I am looking at buying a 1978 9.9hp eska motor for my boat. I checked it out and it runs well and sounds good. However there was no water comming out of the water hose that comes out of the top of the engine. I was wondering what might cause this? Is it easy to fix? Is there anything else I should check before purchasing? Thanks"

You know ...Those little engines sell around here for $50.00 to $400.00 depending on the condition and the season. By the way that engine is not water cooled. I can't be sure but if you send the model no# and serial number I'll check it out for you....Hope this helps...JI

He sold me what I needed, a carb kit, I wish I would have known sooner, I had to buy a mercury water pump impeller. (drilled out to fit)My only problem with the motor now is..it starts fine, idles fine, but when I shift it into fwd, it bogs and won't reach full RPM, it barely planes off a 12 foot boat with one person in it. I'm not sure what the problem is.

At any rate, best of luck, by the way my serial number makes it a 1978 and it is FOR SURE water cooled.
