Just Started My Motor In Water.
I Don't See Any Water Coming Out Of It.

Where And How Much Water Should Come Out Of The Leg ?

Is There Supposed To Be A Steady Stream?

One More Thing, Motor Was Running Fine, Turned It Off After I Did'nt See Any Water Coming Out Of It. Now If I Turn The Key To Running Position Before I Start It The Controller Will Make A Horn Noise. I Think It Might Be A Warning Horn Because The Motor Is Too Hot Am I Right For Thinking This?
Thanks For Any Help
I Have Ordered A Manual It's Just Not Here Yet.

Yer right it is overheated from not pumping. That's why no water is coming out.

The indicator is the finger size holes in the rear of the midsection. Water blows out there in droplets to show that it is working. It isn't a steady stream like a hose, just water blowing out. Most of the water goes out through the prop hub.

A fine mist comes out of the two midsection exhaust relief holes as soon as the thermostats open, usually a minute or so after starting. I'd borrow a laser temp gun and double check each head for overheating. The hot horn goes off as soon as one head reached 212 degrees-that's hot. Normally, at idle you should see 143-155 on each head.
