hi i have a jahnson 1982 15hp and there is no water coming out of the pee hale. i checked the impeller it was good. then i conected the air compressor and blow threw the water tube, the air was coming out of the exaust manafold. then when i put it back together exaust is coming out of the pee hole at idle speed but when i gas it it comes out of the propeller.

Sounds like you have a blockage or a bad impeller, telltale is before the stat, hence why it's an "indicator".
