New impeller, still no telltail

[bryand]

I recently installed a waterpump kit on a 1988 40hp Yamaha. The telltail water was not existent before this change, and continues to only dribble afterwards. The engine does not seen to overheat as I have been using it like this for awhile.<br /><br />Have checked the rubber hose from the block to the telltail and it is free of obstructions. Removing the rubber hose at the block also only shows a dribble of water coming out the fitting at the block.<br /><br />Don't know what to check next?

likley there is crud partially blocking the block fitting, sometimes compressed air in this area will break it down, sometimes not.

I just went out and tried that BenC... thanks! It's pissing like a race horse now.<br /><br />Thanks again.

glad to help. if you run in sand a lot or your outboard is getting on in years this will happen infrequently. there is a product some swear by called salt away, might help a bit to prevent it from happening again
