I have a 1980 evinrude 9.9 model e10rcse. I’m having an issue with the no water coming out of the tell tale. It was perfectly fine before, I started it up to adjust the idle and throttle and it no longer started coming out, I replaced the water pump housing all the gaskets and the impeller since it was shot. Still no water coming out. So I took everything back apart rechecked my work and used a garden house to shoot up the pipe and it came out the tell tale. Put it back together put it in a tub and again no water comes out. Took everything about again, checked my work for the third time, made sure there was no debris again put water through the tell tale this time backwards to come out of the water pump pipe, again no luck after putting it together. Left it complete and again sprayed water from the tell tale through and it came out of the water intake, but nothing going up. I’m seeing mixed things about a possible thermostat, I’m unsure if there is actually one or not and if that could be a cause. Right now I’m lost so any other insight and suggestions would be great!
