1989 J30RLCED not seeing water out top hose

This is my second post today o

This is my second post today on this outboard. I just replaced the water pump/impeller but do not see much water pumping out of the pee hole at the top. The hose attaches to the water jacket left side and should I think be spraying a steady stream of water but instead just bubbles out very little and sputters a few drops? water is pouring out the exhaust holes in the leg just great. Could the copper pipe be clogged?

I have new head gaskets and water jacket /exhaust cover seals in place. There is no leaking or steam coming from the exhaust?
 
"most likely tell tale is clog

"most likely tell tale is clogged,if you see water coming form the bottom of the leg it is circulating thru the engine/cooling properly..
try to fish out the tell tale with a small piece of wire or disconnect it and clean it out.
its not a spray ,just a steady stream,low pressure,1 or 2 psi"
