Hello all,
Well a chapter is finally done. I have an 03 15HP Honda I bought used. The guy I purchased it from had it checked out before I bought it, and the found a bad impeller. They replaced it but failed to look for pieces that had broken off. I noticed when I got it that the pee flow just wasn’t what it should be. I took apart the water flow parts and discovered pieces of the impeller up to the thermostat. This year when I tank tested it, it didn’t pee quite right, as matter of fact it never really has peed all that great. So I started to take stuff apart. I was getting plenty of water all the way to the tube. I blew into it and it felt plugged, but not to bad, even after blowing into it. So I ran a coat hanger through and lo and behold a small piece of impeller popped out. It flow great now. If anything I learned to check EVERYTHING next time.
