I put in a new water pump assembly in the 9.9 hp Evinrude. It was an easy install but am wondering about the lack of water from the tell-tail. A few drops is all that comes out. I noticed something that looks like a thermostat housing on the powerhead, is that what it is? The engine runs great and doesn't get hot, slightly warm, but not hot. Is this the norm for these engines?

Stat is at the top of head, even if the stat doesn't open these should still spray from the telltale, both my motors do at cold start. You probably have a blockage in the telltale, they can get crud in them stopping water flow. Try sticking something in into it to clear the blockage.

Use a piece of weed eater string and clean out the hose. Works best if engine is running.
