I have a 9822E motor which should be a 1968 Sportwin 9.5 and I started having an overheating problem, I rebuilt the water pump but I am still having the problem I also looked at the thermostat which seems to be functioning but I think the cause may be the copper tube that runs down into the water pump housing. I think it may have broke off at the top because when I removed the gear case the whole tube came out with it. My question is should it saty connected on the upper end? If so where is the upper fitting, do I just need to take off the gear case and lower unit?
