Got be a better way...I do have the book on this one but not very helpful. Ive been around OB engines a long time but this is the first time on this animal. Before I break down the lower unit I want to make sure its not in the T/S. This is a 1972 85 HP RUDE, very rude. This is the one that has the T/S at the bottom of the block. Has two short hoses going to each side of the V4 block. I can run it all day long on the earmuffs and runs nice and cool, when I put in a barrel no water pumping, and yes its deep into the water. I then opened the stat housing and removed the inner junk, still no water. Is it the pressure from the water hose thats pushing it into the system? Or could it be in the T/S itself? Most engines when the T/S is out there is no problem. Not sure if this one needs the complete system intact.
