Let me guess. It's on the cuffs with real cold well water going to it.

Normal in that case.

The poppet might be akilter and jammed open. Worth taking a look. 4 bolts, 2 gaskets, and a diaphragm minimum.

If it isn't getting warm, it should only spit a little out the tell-tale. All the water to the tell-tale has to go through a t-stat first.

Maybe somebody took the t-stats out. Bad move.

The poppet seat doesn't fit real tight sometimes, and can get cockeyed and jam the valve open. If it's loose, a few small peen marks around it will hold it in place.
