Make sure ity isn't just a plugged up pee hole. Some bugs like that

Thanks for the tip. This should be easy to try, and I will try this
when I get back home today. But I have a feeling that the telltale
hole is probably not plugged; otherwise, I should not see smoke coming
out from the telltail hole.



Considering this whole scenario.... you really shouldn't have seen
smoke... regardless.... unless you didn't have a high enough water
level in your "bucket."

I'm betting that your pump impeller is toast. Once you get this damage
repaired...... Forget the bucket and get some muffs that fit your
motor.

I am wondering may be the smoke is coming from the fogging oil that I
sprayed inside motor cylinders last fall, and that was the last time I
started the motor.

But you are probably right to say that the impeller is a goner. I have
already counted the impeller as a loss.
