That's a 1976, crawdad.If there is a telltale stream from the back of the powerhead it is pumping. If not, not.

76 70 hp did not have tell-tale (i know, i have one)they did not get telltales until 1978. I installed a tell-tale just to make sure my pump was working. Otherwise you get a mist out exhaust bypass (most goes out prop with exhaust
