Started up my 2000, 25hp Johnson after 2yrs in storage & no water came out of the pump indicator hose. I replaced the pump impeller and seals, still no luck.
I'm assuming the cooling system is clogged. Is there a way to backfush the system? What do you suggest I try at this point. I have a Clymer manual for reference. Motor has very few hours on it.

Its very common for the small tube to be plugged when a bug decides it make a home in there.

Use a piece of wire or blow some air through it, that should be all it needs.
