Hello,
I just got a 1969 Mercury 650. When checking it over, No water is coming from the tattle-tale. With the lower unit off, using a garden hose, I sprayed water up the water pipe, water came running back down out of the driveshaft housing. I also pulled the hose from the tattle-tale (which is completely open) and blew into it with my mouth. I could hear air coming from inside the driveshaft housing. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm new to this, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
