Well, I got my bellows kit the other day and proceeded to start on it. Pulled the outdrive and found a little oil in the drive shaft bellows. Figured it was time to replace the upper housing input shaft seal. Pulled the assembly out, everything looked good. Pulled it apart and replaced the seal, not a bad job! Gotta get the outdrive back together and then back to the bellows. The kit came with a new gimble bearing but mine feels fine. I think I'll replace it anyway while I'm right there. The wind is blowing 40+ mph and cold, 40 degrees. I think I'll work inside today, just finished night shift!

Got everything done! The exhaust bellows was a little painful but I made an expansion tool that worked well. The kit I ordered came with a new gimble bearing that doesn't have a grease hole. I called ebasicpower and they said it was a permalube SKF bearing. I was a little reluctant to use it but I had already pulled the other one out. It turned out really good so I guess Im ready for a good cleaning and hit the water.

Been a busy summer with the garden, work, working around the house. Only got to take the V out once since the work I did early this year. It ran good but ran hotter than normal. hooked the muffs and hose up to it today and it took forever before I saw water coming from the exhaust ports. I have checked the new hose in the gimble, took the water pump apart and checked it, cant find anything wrong. When I put the new impellar in I spun it counterclockwise in the cup, I think that's right. Usually when I start it up on the water hose it starts blowing water in just a few seconds! I noticed the water kinda spits out the pee hole instead of a nice steady stream too. It took at least a minute or more of running before water came out of the exhaust holes. I'm missing something. Any ideas?

Is your hose kinked that goes from the bellhousing to the gimbal? That's the main thing that jumps out at me.
