Installed water pump kit on my 1996 Johnson 88spl still not peeing

Almost impossible for those pumps not to work with a new impeller.----That is if owner understands that it is not self priming.-----So hopefully the new impeller was not damaged running dry.-----That is why I asked how the testing was done.----Many folks think it will pump with just intakes covered.----Perhaps the tell tale hose and fitting are plugged.----Easy to clean...-----If tell tale is plugged you put your hand on the exhaust cover.----If it is cool the water pump is working fine.
 
Could there be another problem somewhere else the hose is clear take hose off from motor shot water through hose took hoses off thermostat housing shot water through them
 
What was the reason for installing the water pump kit ?----Any history on the motor?----There are 2 diverters on each side of the block to guide water for proper cooling.-----They can block water flow if out of position.
 
Working fine all last summer put up for winter got boat out cleaned up put motor down in trash can make sure everything was good wasn’t peeing I tried a few times so I ordered a water pump kit put it in still not peeing
 
Is passage way from intakes to the pump clear "-----Any critters nesting in there ??----Is water 8" above the impeller in your test tank , yes or no ?
 
Yes motor is deep in tank don’t see how critters can get between pump and motor can I take it back down shoot water in tube see if it goes through motor and out pee hole
 
???----Does the exhaust cover stay cool , yes , no or no idea how water flows through this motor ?----Do you know how to test the overheat horn ?-----I could do this for you , but I am 1035 miles away.-----Sorry for being blunt here.
