I've got an old Evinrude 6 hp outboard which is in like new condition.
It has probably had very few hours of running time on it. I had no
problem starting it up even after it had been in storage for possibly
fifteen years! But yesterday I noticed that there wasn't very much
cooling water coming out. When I first started the motor there was a
more or less steady stream of water. But it was actually just dripping
out yesterday afternoon. I continued to run the engine at a moderate
speed (I was out on the lake when I first noticed the problem, and there
was no wind) and it performed normally and didn't seem to be overheated
when I got into the slip. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to
ruin that little motor!

Before you replace the impellor - what about pokin a bit of wire up the
'indicator' - might just be a bit of chit stuck in there.

After that many years, the impeller should be replaced even if it appears to be
working perfectly. If there is a "bit of chit" stuck anywhere it is probably a
piece of the impeller.

Agreed, however doing so may not fix the problem (if a bit of chit is
stuck in the pump indicator).
