1974 Merc 500. I'm only getting a trickle/dribble from the telltale. Water jacket is not heating up (on muffs or in a barrel).
I have run weed-whacker cable up the tell tale as far as I can and no change. There is a brass plug in the rear water jacket cover and I assume this is an unused water pressure/temp sensor port.
I have seen other threads where a new telltale can be routed from that port. Is it as simple as fitting a nipple where the plug was and running some new hose to the existing telltale outlet and plugging the old tube?
