Dumb question: can't you just hook the water pump inlet to a garden hose spigot and dump the outlet to a drain?  I think marine engines work this way.

good question and just found out today that MikeP ran his motor with a garden hose running in and draining out. Gravity fed the gas. Go for it...

Stay away from the carb as flame can shoot out!
