I tried putting the motor inside of a a can full of water like you said, and to my huge relief it worked, it started shooting water out the peehole. Whew... but I will keep an eye on it. Not sure what went wrong with the water mufflers, maybe the hose was not turned up enough. I really want to watch the weedeater project that you might take up so keep me posted, of course I am hoping that you make it an outboard instead of a charger. Regarding shipping my motor to you, I would have to find out how much that would be, I am going to let it sit for a bit because I dont want to mess with my boat yet. By the way, how much horsepower does a typical weedeater have?
