The rigging tube...there are a few aftermarket devices that wrap around the rigged hoses, cables and wires. To use the rigging tube from Mercury, all must be undone.
As a stopgap measure you could...
You can siphon out as much of the gas as you can with the boat tilted on the trailer (if it's on one) to maximize the siphoning. Then you can remove the fuel sender (if you did not do your siphoning...
Pays to be cautious, Good call.

Go to this.
CAUTION: If the motor is starving for fuel as you considered above, lean running two strokes get hot, pistons scrape the cylinder walls, and power heads go BANG!
What was the cause of the previous...
When you found the chunks, did you do all of the recommended fuel system updates or just the fuel line, primer bulb, and filter?

Others will weigh in but I do think that the heads run at slightly different temps based on the water flow through the block.
At .5 Psi the impeller is certainly due for a change. That's the place...

Call Rhonda at European Marine. She'll set you up with what you need.
It could be that one of the o-rings on the release valve is either torn or twisted. If the motor is supported, the valve can be removed for examination after the c-clip retainer is removed.
Not using the motor allows the water pump impeller to take a set; that is, some of the blades of the impeller will be stored for extended periods in the smaller radius areas of the pump housing. They...
Have you checked to ensure that the manual release valve is snug (not overly tight, but snug)?
Way overdue for this maintenance!
'sats that have trash in them and are stuck open will, as you suggested, cause cool running.
The temps that you are reporting are not high enough to cause an overheat alarm. In fact they are where...

Motor under no load will not be an accurate test of anything.
Does your mechanic have access to a dynomometer? (replaces the prop with a hydraulic pump mounted to the prop shaft. allows the motor to...
I would pull the spark plugs and see if one is being washed clean by water intrusion. If possible, examine the tops of the pistons through the spark plug hole. They should be dirty/sooted. If one (or...
On the condition of the head: those edges created by impact damage will get hotter than the surfaces they adjoin...could lead to preigniton/detonation all over again.
Ditch it.
Deleting the oil injection...Is there a reason for doing it; something that's broken?
Motor has run since 1996 with the injection system. Why tinker with it?
8 psi at 3800 RPM is low.
When was the last time the entire WP was replaced?
Likely you had an anomaly with the hot motor, like something blocking the intakes.
Do the whole WP kit being careful...
I think if you contact Rhonda at European Marine she can hook you up.
Is this motor in the hands of an experienced mechanic?
The reason for the question is that if the oil pump failed, the entire motor should be evaluated: compression, leak-down, bore scope.
Lots of...
Better to have been used than not.
There is more to evaluating an engine than hours.
All outboards will collect oil right below the carbs just from tilting the engine for travel due to spillage out of the carbs.
