I have never messed with an outboard before. I've been working on the ignition system and just got it all working right I think. The engine was idling on the muffs and I did not like the very slow stream of water coming out of the rubber outlet hose. It ran for maybe 5 to 7 minutes. The flat plate between the heads was not hot or even warm to the touch. The heads were warm but not hot. There are two hose elbows connecting from below the engine to the heads. Neither felt like much water if any was moving through them. The parts listings show thermostats on this engine. How long does it take foe them to open? Will the pisser flow slowly until they open? When I say slowly I mean more than a dribble but not by much. Are there thermostats on this engine?
Input needed and appreciated.
