A couple of weeks ago Beeman spoke about flushing the engine after using it in saltwater and I suggested using a muffler to do the job, so as I have been doing a few photo's, I took some of my muffler. I use a double sided type with a piece of hose and tap connector fitted.

AS you can see, water goes all over the place but don't worry about that unless you have expensive shoes on
. Turn on the water supply and start the engine, providing water is jetted out of the cooling water exit hole, it will do all that you need it to do. The engine is not running in the photo, it is more to show that water will escape around the gearbox so that is normal. If the fit is not tight, simply squeeze the metal frame with a wrench.
Hope that helps Neil although you may be sorted now.
