[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 372600, member: 3278"] No, thermostat does not need to be open on this engine. Block just needs to be full. If the muffs were the cheapo ones with the plastic tensioner you probably wouldn't get the water through the block. Second thing to check would be a blockage in the line. Just stick something up into the hose and try again. If the engine has not had an impeller or pump change that would be a definite on the "to do" list. Was surprising to read that the guy you bought it from "just works on these" yet didn't know what year the engine was. Pretty much anyone that works on the Johnson/Evinrude brands knows the model number code. [/QUOTE]
