Does this impeller look ok or bad?

I found with the old Johnson 6 that the easist diagnostic is after pulling the pump gearbox and bottom leg off is to apply the garden hose to the pump outlet pipe. The one that goes up to the engine. I found in every case with no blockage a good flow from the tell tale and from the water injection into the exhaust. With blockages nothing.
I have never seen a tell tale blocked. No tell tale always told me no cooling water. (just my experience) good luck olewill

You will save a lot of time and effort if you do as per post #15, and you will learn a lot about the engine.
O ring will probably need looking at as well after previous reassembly.

This is thought, if I stick the hose on the pee pipe there is a good flow back out of the intakes. I should also add there seems to be a few pee holes on the engine and all shows steam/smoke, even the ones on the leg.

I'll stick some videos up later.

All sorted. New pump housing and impeller fitted and run. Still wasnt brilliant so called a shop and they said the Mariner 2 strokes won't always pee, it depends on the thermostat and thus, leaving the engine running longer did exactly that, stopped, trickled, flowed and so on.

Thanks for all the assistance guys.
