Check the nipple on the indicator hose for obstruction (I use a paperclip). Your motor is a '83. Pee stream shouldn't become weaker w/higher rpm.. hopefully the nipple has crud in it, if not, check the hose and it's connector to the powerhead. If all that's good, it could be a water tube grommet pinched over or faulty (could be upper or lower).. also, check water intake ports to be sure they're clear and waterpump has a good supply.

Good luck!

Here is a site that has some good articles on the 6HP. He seems to have missed your model year but I'm sure you will find it helpful in any case. Best of luck. Rick.
