1991 4 HP Evinrude Questions

[boggy]

I have a motor that I am working on for a friend. It is an Evinrude 4 HP. Serial # E4RESR. My own 3 HP pumps a stream of water out of the back of the motor when running. This 4 HP deos not. I am afraid to run it for long for trouble shooting with no water running through it. Should it have a stream shooting down?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Rob

General answer from a producer to me. If it has the 6 holes it will mist/ or spray if it has a pee tube like the words say it will be a steady stream. If it mists/sprays (same thing) put your hand up to it for about 1.5 sec or 2 sec. If it doesnt drip off your hand, then maybe a cooling prob. These engines will always run hot but common sense will tell you if its burning or not.
