Started this one up and no water from the telltale. Fine old motor has not been run for a while ,will replace the impeller. The telltale is pumping out exhaust, it is not steam it is exhaust. Would this be the exhaust manifold and gasket setup is bad? How is exhaust entering the cooling system?

Fact------What you are seeing is normal.--------No water pressure means that exhaust will come out the telltale.--------Replace impeller !
