I have a 86 force 125 that had 2 dead cylinders, I just bought a chrysler 115 power head for $250 got it switched over to my force leg/lower unit and then had a bad ignition switch. I rigged the ignition switch so it would work till I get a new one. the new power head fires right up but its not pumping water.
I had it running for a few seconds on the muffs at idle and have also installed a telltale as per instructions on the forum but nothing is coming out of the telltale. I don't want to run it anymore till I get water flowing. what could cause this problem? Impeller? water pump? something different? I assume water should be coming out as soon as it starts right? I did double check top make sure the muffs were on the right spots.
