jerry, my 115, previous owner removed thermostat! I removed the bypass cover spring was broken and the poppet well n truly jammed, I drilled a hole in the lower tray so I could drill the nylon poppet out, so I decided to flush her out using the garden hose through the thermostat opening, I turn the water on I got 10 foot stream out top of head through my pisser pipe fitting, a lil stream out the front mid section cover outlet but nothing from the poppet hole, should I have got water from it? I’m really trying to avoid dropping the head but if water should be com8ng out the poppet hole I’ll drop the front water jacket of first if it’s all clogged up with the salt crystals I’ll take the head off and clean it right out, right do you advise please n thank you , you are the resident master
