2001 90 hp 2 stroke cooling

[beachfeet-fl]

My 2001 90 hp 2 stroke Yamaha's "tell<br />tale" water stream never gets warm.<br />Should it get warm? I have factory manual and thermostat checks to spec. Where else should I look? Thanks

its not supposed to, if it does the top of the block will be cooking.<br />all that tell tale does is give an indication of is the water pump pumping, has nothing to do with is it getting hot.
