Hi again...
I have uploaded a video ( bit poor qaulity sorry ) of the water coming from the exhaust ports on my 1980 evinrude 70hp here....
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lTEnVQ8j_oc
I have re-sealed the exhaust box gaskets no problems there, checked the thermostat seal is fine the only thing I am not sure about is the follwoing...
1. The pee tube had been replaced at some point and was approx half the correct size could this cause the relief valve to pass? now replaced but not tried yet .
2. there are two relief poppet valves and springs , the valves have rubber washers on and currently seat straight onto the aluminium below should there be a rubber seal or bush they sit against as the drawing shows some sort of grommet ?
The water does not gush out straight away only after about 7-8 seconds , the pee tube works from the off .
Any help will be very very welcome.
Thanks
bob
