" Can anyone tell me how much

" Can anyone tell me how much water should be coming out of the tattle tale hole on the above motor. It is spitting water, but I am use to seeing a nice stream coming out. I just purchased the motor and the old owner told me it has always looked like that. Has anyone ever heard of the motor just spitting water as compared to a stream coming out? "
 
" James, They clog easily. S

" James, They clog easily. Start it up on the earmuffs and stick a thin wire or paperclip up the hose to clean it out. If that fails, stop the motor, disconnect the hose at the block and try to suck out the obstruction. Try not to swallow the obstruction, although they usually do not have a bad flavor! "
 
" Thanks Chris, I will try tha

" Thanks Chris, I will try that, although, I might see if I can use a vacuum to suck it out, sounds like u have had a bad experience or two doing this,lol. I really do appreciate the advice. "
