Re: New water pump-no pisser??? WHOA! !!

Finally got round to taking her apart and found the problem. ANTS. No shizzle. Ants in the pisser tube. Can't believe this could make my engine overheat. Took the lower end off and tested it with my drill. Tested ok. Hooked the water hose to the water inlet on the motor and turned on the water and nothing from the pisser-except an ant...looked closer and it was full of ant and eggs and such. So I replaced the whole line and drilled out the fitting at the end so it would be less likely to be plugged and voila! Biggest best stream I ever saw. Hope to pee like that when I get old! HAHA! So now when I put her away I will set a screw loosely in the end of the tube and a large sponge will go in the motor cover where air comes in for the engine intake.

So you still do not understand that a stopped up tell tail has no impact on overheating on the motor?
It is just an indicator the the pump is pumping water,
but some motors do use the tell tail flow to cool rectifier/regulator
