Hi all.
Im not sure the problem - just bought the boat.. upgraded
this new one has a 140hp 1984 Johnson - Ive just changed the water pump kit, top and lower seals on the leg.
but noticed that im not getting water from the exhaust ports or from the usual spot on the lower leg when the thermostats open. if anything exhaust.
I can confirm that I am getting water from the telltale, and the heads are flowing water. (I pulled the pipes between heads and thermostat housing)
When I put water into the thermostat housing the water comes out the areas that Ive normaly seen from the incoming water. and still nothing from the lower leg holes at the rear.
I also have a lot of water coming out near the exhaust seal at the join from the mid to the lower leg - both sides.
I also get a lot of black ooze after I have run the motor for a while dribble out of the sides of the leg join and from the front of the prop. assuming more wet exhaust.
No water in lower leg oil.
