I have a 93' 55hp Yami. Havent ran the boat in 6 weeks, so I wanted to go out tomorrow. Hooked up the earmuffs, turned on the water, pumped the bulb until hard, It started right up. 25-30 secs go by, NO WATER from the tell tail.
Just had new impeller installed in Oct 10'

Any thoughts?
Recommendations??

THANKS!!!:)

Make sure the tube isn't clogged up. Run a piece of weed wacker line up it.

Still having trouble getting a pee stream? If the weed wacker line did'nt work, try some shots of air with a compresser

Re: No water from Tell Tail

I went out about 2 hrs later yesterday, started the motor, tried the weed line, and I did get a small stream.
Tried it again this afternoon, NO WATER. Took off the hose inside and blew into it. A bit of water came out but not much. Kept trying to get water, and the alarm came on, so I turned it off. An hour later, turned switch on (no alarm) so I started it. A little water for a few seconds, then the stream got stronger. Ran it for about 5 mins, good stream of water.
I think I need to put it in the water and run it.
