I’m not sure where water is supposed to exit the powerhead on your model,
but thirty seconds may not have been long enough of a run to see if it’s working.
If you primed the carb by holding up on the poppet valve pin, that allows gas
past the poppet valve, and into the engine. Any excess will run out that intake
screen on the bottom.
Sounds like you’re “close” to having a running motor…… keep at it!Prepare to be boarded!

Overflow when priming is normal.
As to your water issue I’ve never had one of
these but I do have a picture (I think) of
your motor. It looks like it has a pump rather
than an impeller. Pump systems have 2 check
valves. Most likely one or both are dirty or stuck.
I’ve offered some guesses as to what you may
find. You seem to have the mechanical skills
to understand what you’ll find once you get in
there.

A "Boat House Repair" is one that done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
Watched your video Ed. I think Buck is correct.
Leave the magneto lever near the 4:00 o’clock
position. Then keep closing the mixture screw
until it takes off. Then you’ll need to pull the
trimming lever back some to slow it down.
That looks like a really nice example.
Should be a great running motor once
you become familiar with it.

I took apart the water pump a bit. the piston is connected to a take-off from the drive shaft. it was clean and not scored. I put a bit of grease on it before I put it back in the pump cavity. At the base of the cooling water copper tube, there is a check valve/ball valve. this ball valve moved freely when rotated back and forth. I blew air through it easily one way but air was blocked going the other way. The filter screen was at least average in cleanliness with a light making it through from other side. I did not see another check valve. there is a fine crack in the check valve body but with the holding nut in place I think there is no issue.
everything looked OK so wondering if cooling water actually exits through the exhaust pipe along with the engine fumes; that would explain my not seeing it shoot out of what I thought was a little blowhole under the exhaust manifold.
it could be that the cooling system is working fine?Ed Voll
