Hi everyone. I am pretty new to outboards and I just picked up an Elto Sportster. It doesn’t seem like there is too much info about them anywhere so hopefully someone can help me. The problem is that the outboard doesn’t pump water. It has an impellar in good shape, but for some reason it won’t pump water. Does anyone know why?
Are you sure that the impeller is actually turning?
Have you blown out the water passages – both into and out of the water pump housing?
I’m pretty sure its turning but I don’t know how to check for sure. And as for the second part, sort of. I have put degreaser in the holes to make sure the was no oil blocking the tubes.

I don’t know enough about your specific motor to tell you how to verify impeller rotation – but if it’s gear-driven directly by the prop drive shaft, that’s another matter.
