I don't have any raw water coming out the exhaust or very little. Impeller is good and water will come out the tube that goes into the manifold but when I hook it up almost none comes out the exhaust.

Fixed it myself, took exhaust manifold off and it was plugged full of carbon deposit. Scraped and cleaned and rinsed and presto--works great.

Mike, The overheating may be caused by larger issues than the elbow. Make sure the heat exchanger, thermostat and hoses are clear (check nipple going into thermo also). I just did the same and found lots of clogging. I cleaned core of exchanger with 50% muriatic acid. Get new seals first.
Do you know where I can find a complete manual on line.
