1977 Johnson - No water flow

[63Electra]

My motor has 2 ports that the water sprays out on the back of the motor. I just replaced the water pump because it wasn't moving water. After I replaced the impeller it still isn't moving water. What do I do now?

Welcome aboard.

Did you put the impeller key in that locks the impeller to the driveshaft?

 

[63Electra]

Yes I did. This is the second one I put in. I just put one in my Force 80 last week and it works great. The ports at the rear of the motor are bone dry. Not even mist

I plan on tearing it all back down and checking it again I was just hoping there was something else I was missing

What motor?? Running it on a boat on the lake, or in a bucket?

 

[63Electra]

It's a Johnson 70hp. Running first on muffs then in a barrel.

There is no tell tale shown on a 77 model.------Folks maintained their motors back then, did not need a telltale.-----Water does not pour out of those 2 holes at idle.----It may spit out a bit when thermostat opens.------You have inspected the thermostat ?----You have checked that poppit valves are free to move in the grommets ?----You have at least tested your over heat horn ?
