If you dont see a pee stream you need to look at your water pump :(

Helps to know the year. Later one have a pee stream, earlier ones have an exhaust port that you can see the water come out of. In either case, you should be able to (barely) keep your hand on the cylinder when it's running without burning yourself.

Keep your fingers out of the flywheel.

You can have water coming out of the exhaust relief and still have nothing going the engine.
