Perhaps you could get 'r' done by using some makeshift barrel/bucket or something to fill with water and lower the foot into so as to create some backpressure? You'd just have to be careful to give the prop clearance and keep the water coming into the barrel/bucket or whatever... It would have to be fairly large though...

I don't know; just a thought.
This time of year I have a bunch of ramps not in heavy use on the week days, so I can just dip it in the water on the traikler for that matter and do it.

Have you removed the carb plugs and sprayed cleaner thru the holes?
Not running, high idle and shutting off could be slightly clogged jets
The guy had the motor on the boat till the day it was shipped, so its been down for 2 weeks.
Will havingn it lay on its side for that long cause anything?
