no water coming out at pee hole
Mercury 50 hp 4 cyl. about a '74 model
I changed the impellar myself for the first time. It was hard getting the impellar into the housing..but it's in. I don't think you can put one in upside down...yes, I did turn it clockwise.
I'm not sure of the little 2" tubing that I had to slip back under the housing water pump, and under that little tubing was a little rubber o ring. Anybody live close to Gadsden, Al??
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Not that its model related , I have a 77 Merc 500 (50hp).. but is this first startup after sitting a while ? Twice I had the tattletale-hole no water scare. Both times it was some kind of bug/etc that had crawled up the nozzle and plugged it. Try squeezing the nozzle around, maybe probe into it with something , but dont get too agressive with a small screwdriver or etc.. if its a bug it wont be too far up the pipe.
Hope it helps.

Had an issue with a motor that i had just purchased last year. Minimal water was flowing. When I took it to a mechanic, he advised that the water pump needed to be changed. $100 bucks later and she purred like a kitten.
