I have a p60. I have water leaking out of backfire trap when flushing water jacked exaust. I hook garden hose to it to flush prior to launching and this year I have water leaking out the backfirer trap. What could be wrong? |

Possibly a cracked manifold. If you were flushing the whole engine when you saw water at the carb screen it could also be a bad head gasket. Check the cylinders for water. |

Ray I broke 3 head bolts removing the head as well! I had to redrill as best as possible and retap for the same size bolts! Or placing helicoils is another option and probably the better one. |
