Gamefisher 7.5 Impeller Replacement?
Hi.
I have a Gamefisher 7.5 two-stroke outboard (long shaft) from the late 80s. The engine is a Tecumseh. I'm not getting any spray out of the holes about halfway down the shaft. This motor only has a few hours on it but it sat for a long time unused. Where is the impeller located and how do I get to it? Do I need to remove the entire shaft from the engine? Anyone know of any online diagrams for this motor? I can't seem to locate my owner's manual and Sears wants $10 for a new one. It's somewhere... Thanks. |

Thanks. I found the owner's manual in a box in the garage. It has the parts diagram. Now I need to find a carburator kit. It seems there is a funny little rubber bladder in it that has split and it's flooding the engine. Tecumseh sure puts some weird carburators on their engines. The good news is that the impeller seems to be working OK now. There must have been a clog in the cooling lines. |

I tried to get a price from Sears for the whole carb and it is no longer available. This is why I no longer buy anything from Sears (one of many reasons). |

You can go to sears parts direct type in your model number and they have a parts schematic done in sections that was great on my 7.5 gamefisher and price not to bad either. Hope this helps
