Re: 1983 Evinrude telltail
I won't be as strong as at WFO but it should be more than a dribble. What model are you talking about? When you have idled for three or four minutes put your fingers on the head and see if you can hold them there for a long three count. If you can't you are overheating, if you can then I wouldn't worry about it but would still check it once in a while. Could be a restriction in the water jacket or your pump may be weak. Telltale might get stronger in the water when it is at the right level on the engine.
