Hi everyone,
I just changed my impeller and was testing my outboard in a tank of water. My ports were well covers and the hose was running. I have had the muffs on and tanked my engine at least 10 times before and just got done dropping my lower and never noticed one of those times the water flowing out of the six holes that were there. LOL..anyhow..I DID notice because my telltale is just sputtering water despite having a brand new kit and being fully submerged. the water was hot and it seemed that after I stopped the engine and restarted it after 5 minutes that I had a little better flow out the telltale. Does this sound like I may need change the thermostat? It is at least ten years old that I know of. Thanks for any help.
