1973 65hp evinrude cooling question

[kyleg001]

Thermostat tested out fine. pump is pushing water to the thermostat housing, water can be sprayed in the water exhaust spouts and exit the bottom, but when the motor is running the water spouts only drip slightly, instead of a stream?

Any ideas?

Have the exact same motor. They don't have a telltale like what your talking about. Just spits water. Sounds like your fine.

I have the same issue! i put a new water pump kit in and it doesnt seem to put alot of water out the 2 exhaust holes maybe a drop or two im too nervous to take it out. I was wondering if there is a better way to tell if its geting the necessary water to the engine?
