First of all, as you may know by my recent posts, I am new to boating, inboards, and old V8's so this forum has been awesome for me.
I was attempting to run the old Resorter with a plunger like contraption I bought from Amazon yesterday.
Here are the mistakes I made:
I then went inside and like an idiot did my research after hooking the thing up. I brought it to a level surface and gave it gradual water I started it and it moaned for a second or two and then ran fine. I have no water in the oil. Is it possible I damaged something?
Thanks.
I was attempting to run the old Resorter with a plunger like contraption I bought from Amazon yesterday.
Here are the mistakes I made:
- The boat was not level, the bow was facing down my driveway which is relatively steep, steep enough to not play basketball on.
- I attached the plunger thing and fired up the hose at full blast.
- I started her up, and she kicked out a lot of water and then moaned very loudly when running.
- I shut it off after less than five seconds knowing I was screwing something up.
