I have a 130HP 1995 Johnson Outboard that I have done a fair bit of work. I removed the thermostats and cleaned everything up and installed it as the service manual states. I overhauled the water pump, new complete assembly.
The problem I have is there is no water coming out the tell tale hole. There is quite a bit of water coming out the lower unit from everywhere pretty much as soon as I turn the water muffs on. I have taken the lower gear unit off like 4 times and each time I found nothing wrong. The water pipe is well inserted into the pump. The o-rings are installed correctly.
I took the small allen key plug off the starboard side of the adapter and with just the muffs turned on lots of water comes out their.
I am starting to wonder if I installed the thermostats correctly. The tell tale hose indicates what exactly? Is it water after the thermostats or does it indicate water pressure before the thermostats?
