I have read the posts of this oft asked question and still cannot solve my problem.
I have a 1990 225 ETLD and do not have sufficient water pressure at idle. The telltale is very weak and water will not even come out the plug at the top of the heads if you remove it. The alarm does not go off but it is still too hot.
I have changed the impeller, poppet (cleaned pocket as well) and thermostats and still cannot get the pressure up. I even tried clamping the hose from the poppet to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. The passage ways all appear clear as air can be blown through with little resistence.
The water pump housing is not warped and seals fine. i cannot see anything that looks like it needs replacing. Nevertheless, I could change the whole water pump? I dunno! Any other ideas? Thx.
